Dear Human is a Verb Community-
On the first Sunday of Advent, my husband Steve carried a mixing bowl full of red radishes into a church potluck. That unlikely root vegetable became a symbol of an invitation: stay awake to God’s presence by practicing radical hospitality.
Radical hospitality is about being rooted and grounded. It is a way of being receptive to our own pain without shame, receiving others without defensiveness, and receiving our incarcerated and returning neighbors as part of the one human body we belong to.
In this episode, Steve shares:• how “radical” actually means rooted• what hospitality looks like inside ourselves and in community• why people impacted by incarceration belong at the center of our concern• how Heart to Heart supports healing and leadership for returning citizens
Steve and Heart-to-Heart developed an Advent devotional that you can access here.
