This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. "How you respond can determine if you live or die,'' says Debra Germany. "Respond differently,'' she urges. In her personal response to the murder of her only child, Germany established Divine Intervention Ministries, a program devoted to helping ex-offenders successfully return to the community after prison.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
