God‘s story is the story of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. But it‘s also humanity‘s story, the story of a world fallen and blown apart and of a world reshaped and restored. It‘s the beginning of all beginnings and the end of all ends. Join Brent Siddall and the Rev Ian ‘Reido‘ Reid as they explore God, time, salvation and the cosmos. Explore the stories of Western culture as they pivot and interact with the main narrative of salvation history.

Why did God allow such pain and trauma in my life? What good could possibly come from it? Will I ever get free?
‘When Karen Sjoblom relocated to her Midwest birthplace after her daughter left for college, she anticipated exciting possibilities in her newly empty nested stage. Instead she found herself on an unexpected pilgrimage through past trauma and rigid generational expectations’.
Karen is an award winning author, freelance writer, and editor and she’s had a nearly 40 year career in healthcare, science, education, high tech and nonprofit communications. She also co-founded and ran for 9 years Eve’s Daughters, a nonprofit for single mums and their kids outside of Portland, Oregon.
