Marla’s first inkling that something was missing came when she read the book, The Hole in Our Gospel. She grew up in a loving home and didn’t realize she was in a “white Christian bubble.” Her church was almost all-white, her hometown was almost completely white, and then after high school, Marla attended an even smaller completely white, conservative Christian college.
