EP 47: Being a Sanctuary (Ft. Pricelis Dominguez)

In Totality with Megan Ashley

What if the church truly became a sanctuary—a refuge for the wounded and marginalized? Join me Megan Ashley In this episode of In Totality, we sit down with Pricelis Dominguez, author of Being a Sanctuary, to discuss her journey from growing up in New York City to her time in the Dominican Republic and how studying the book of Acts has shaped her faith. Pricelis shares her insights on resilience, the beauty of fall in NYC, and her passion for creating culturally relevant Christian content.

We also confront the deep wounds caused within church communities, tackling issues like racism, sexism, mental health, and disabilities. Pricelis emphasizes the urgent need for churches to return to Bible-based, trauma-informed, and justice-oriented practices, sharing her own faith journey, including moments of doubt and renewal.

Finally, we explore the vital role of diversity in strengthening Christian communities, drawing lessons from the early church’s embrace of cultural differences. Pricelis highlights the power of diverse leadership and experiences in fostering empathy, compassion, and authenticity in embodying Jesus’ teachings. This episode offers a heartfelt discussion on transforming the church into a true place of healing and refuge
