In one of her travels to Ukraine a few years ago, she fell in love with the people of Ukraine and their language, creating long-lasting and beautiful friendships with her country\u2019s perceived enemies. She shares the complexity and heartbreak of being caught in the tension of differing viewpoints and political propaganda while feeling shame and grief over the acts of violence caused by her own country towards people she now considers family.\n\nIf you\u2019re struggling to love and forgive those who have caused deep hurt and pain to your loved ones, this episode is a must-listen. Through Galina\u2019s story, you can begin the journey of love and forgiveness this advent season.\n\nLupins by the Wayside: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087125623398&mibextid=LQQJ4d\n\nOther Links\n\nWe want to hear your voice, send us your audio by visiting here: Enter the Online Studio\n\nVisit us at: journeywithcare.ca\n\nAbout the CarePortal: careimpact.ca/careportal\n\nHelp connect and equip more churches across Canada to effectively journey well in community with children and families: careimpact.ca/donate\n\nNewsletter sign-up: careimpact.ca/newsletter\n\nEmail: podcast@careimpact.ca\n\nEditing and production by Johan Heinrichs: arkpodcasts.ca","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/7bcd2c9e-57d2-4008-98bc-8051e97641c3/6915b3f1-3aa1-4a47-942d-763fbd39acb0-55-4f0b-9884-bd62954b1414.jpg"}
