About this listen

 Christina Yawn is a woman of mixed Mexican and American heritage and doesn’t hold back on the stark realities of growing up in a border town, where blending two cultures shaped her identity and her struggles. She’s also the spouse of an officer stationed at Laughlin Air Force Base, and she, too, has served our country, as a medic in the Navy. She shares a gut-wrenching encounter with a migrant woman that cuts through the political noise to expose the raw humanity of life at the border. Hear how her own church played a frontline role.
