Minister Sheila Whittenberg - Hope In Crisis: Serving Ukrainian Refugees In Berlin

This week I sat down with Sheila Whittenberg, a children's minister in Berlin, Germany that has been at the train station welcoming in refugees from Ukraine. In this episode, she shares some heartbreaking stories, but also where she is seeing God and finding hope.

About Sheila in her own words:
Artist, Contemplative and Advocate for children. That's me. I live in Berlin, Germany with my husband, two crazy teenagers, and a Cockapoo named Lucy (who is also my painting pal). I explore the intersection between Divine Mystery and the mundane and the interaction between spirituality and the human body. Celebrating diversity and challenging social constructs about the narrow definition of physical beauty are also themes that surface regularly in my work.

Fun facts: I speak Russian, German and English. Orignally from Georgia in the Southern U.S., I spent my formative young adult years in Russia (Siberia, no less!) and the last 20 years in Germany.
