How can we create spaces in our communities and ministries where people of different backgrounds feel like they belong? What’s the difference between belonging and feeling “comfortable,” and how does discomfort help us grow?
Cesar Castillejos has years of experience fostering meaningful belonging for kids and young adults in youth ministry. He shares countless gems of wisdom in this episode, like- When should we come in as a learner and a servant instead of a doer? How are we using our opportunity and access to equip and empower others? Are we prepared to get out of the way so that others can grow? How can we create “holy confusion” that leads to awe and wonder about Jesus? Cesar addresses all of this and more.
