Let's read. Together.

There's power in community and wisdom in gaining knowledge and understanding. Let's combine them and grow. Together.

What to Expect

Each month, you’ll be presented with book selections and topics that range from faith, trauma, and deconstruction to reconstruction, identity, and belonging.

Approaching the book of the month with curiosity, compassion, and kindness, we’ll read with the intent to learn from the books and from each other.

You can choose to read alone, join a virtual reading session, or both. At the end of each month, we’ll meet to discuss. And all along the way, you’ll meet others in our community as we read, learn, and grow together.

Both the book club and benefits will grow along with each of us, and will be shaped by your valuable feedback and input.

If you're looking for a community and safe space to read, learn, and grow together, join us!

What We're Reading Right Now

June July 2025

Make Sense of Your Story

Adam Young

Looking back at painful stories from the past seems counterproductive, especially when it appears unrelated to our present lives. But what if exploring our past stories can help us make sense of where we are now and begin to imagine who we would like to become? Rather than ignoring, suppressing, or running from our past hurts, looking at our stories of heartache and how they have shaped us helps make sense of who we are now and points the way to freedom and meaningful change.

In Make Sense of Your Story, trauma therapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker Adam Young helps you explore your personal story so you can understand how your experiences have shaped your brain—which, in turn, allows you to understand why your present day-to-day life looks and feels the way it does. He shows you how to confront and process the story of your family of origin, your sexual story, the story your body is telling you, your cultural story, your story with God, and more with kindness rather than judgment so that you can experience healing, self-acceptance, and release.

The secret to making sense of your present life is understanding your past experiences. And if you want to change the narrative, you have to engage your story.
