In this sermon, Mother Melody reimagines the Trinity not as a theological puzzle to solve, but as a model of deep, loving conversation. By focusing on why rather than how God is three-in-one, we begin to under stand God's emphasis on relationship and dialogue. This understanding calls us to mirror that divine communication in how we speak with God and with one another, rooted always in love.
