Defiant Joy

“You have turned my wailing into dancing.” (Psalm 30:12)

On May 5th eighty years ago Mauthausen Concentration Camp was liberated. My mother was one of the prisoners there. Preached on the 5th of May, this episode is a meditation on the liberation we find in our relationship with the risen Christ.

The image below was taken twelve years after the day of liberation. That’s my mom holding yours truly.

You can read about my mother’s experiences and the spiritual lessons from them in my book Looking for God in Messy Places.
