Entering into the Suffering with Sean Forrest

Sean Forrest is a musician, presenter, author, youth minister, and missionary who has used his gifts and talents to make an impact on many fronts. He is the co-founder of Haiti180, an organization that nurtures leaders of faith, provides love-filled childhoods, and extends God’s care through education, medical aid, and housing for Haiti’s poorest. To date, Haiti180 has built an orphanage, a school serving over 350 students, elderly housing and care, and a state-of-the-art medical facility—all initiatives that are deeply rooted in faith, hope, and love.In this episode, we speak with Sean about his early religious upbringing and journey to the Catholic Church, his background as a musician and author and how these creative pursuits have shaped his faith and works of service, and the transformative experiences in Haiti that inspired him to start his organization. Along the way, we touch on the relationship between justice and charity, embracing ourselves as “broken vessels,” and how “entering into the suffering” of others is the cost of discipleship. Listeners can discover more about Haiti180 and ways to support the work of Sean and his team at their website here.
