Right now, our lives are rapidly transforming. We don’t know yet how we’ll be changed as individuals or how our communities will change in the long-term—but the change is surely happening, and we can be active in creating the New that this transformation brings. In this season of First Conversational, we’re exploring stories of transformation—times when by choice or circumstance people found themselves or their lives changing in fundamental ways. First Conversational is a podcast of the First Congregational Church of St. Louis, an open and affirming congregation in the United Church of Christ.
