When someone makes us feel unacceptable—whether directly or indirectly—it’s hard to feel safe or be ourselves around them. Often, we avoid those people. But what if you couldn’t? What if that person was your teacher or dorm parent, and you were just a child living under their authority? You might begin to shrink inside yourself, feeling ashamed and invisible.
In this week’s episode, I’m joined by David Tso, who grew up in the U.S. government-run boarding school system designed to “civilize” Native American children. Their culture was misunderstood and suppressed—they weren’t allowed to speak their language or live as their ancestors had for generations. Forced to conform, their hearts and spirits were deeply affected by institutional racism, the scars of which are still felt today.
David shares his experience with honesty and grace, offering a glimpse into the lasting impact on the Navajo people. Next week, he will return to discuss his healing journey and how God’s grace helped him reclaim his sense of worth and value.
