How an FBI Chaplain Keeps the Darkness Out of Her Home w/ Rev. Kristen Ellis

🫂❤️When walking with people through pain or tragic circumstances, inside or outside your home, it can be tempting to feel the need to have something profound to say or an answer to provide, but what if it’s a lot simpler than that? In this episode, Rev. Kristen Ellis, an FBI Chaplain, shares what it looks like to have a “Ministry of Presence”. We discuss the idea of operating from a place of permission, being invited in to someone’s vulnerable moments, and how simply showing up with empathy and a willing ear can change everything… And coming out of those heavy or chaotic moments, how do we preserve our home from that same heaviness?
