Honest Hospitality: Risks and Rewards | Aaron White

In this episode, our host, Susan Smetzer-Anderson, speaks with Aaron White, a pastor from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, about the transformative potential of true kinship and the profound possibilities of living out the Beatitudes and connecting with the marginalized. Aaron relentlessly advocates for building relationships across boundaries (such as economics) that often keep people in silos—dislocated and disconnected. But building genuine relationships can be a game-changer in the lives of individuals and communities. Please tune in to this vital conversation and join us in relearning the power of genuine connection and honest hospitality. You can also glean more of Aaron’s insights through tuning into his tcaptalk at the 2024 Kingdom Justice Summit.=======Links:=======⛪️ Aaron's work = https://www.missioncentral.ca/profile/aaron-white 📗 = http://bakerpublishinggroup.com/books/recovering/393810🏫 Course = https://infinitumlife.teachable.com/p/creative-way-down-surrender Send us Fan MailCONNECT WITH USSubscribe to The UpWords Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts and visit slbf.org/studio to learn more about our work at the intersection of faith, the academy, and the marketplace.This episode was created by the SLBF STUDIO at Upper House.Produced by Daniel Johnson and Dave ConourEdited by Dave Conour
