Description

with guest Aaron White, director for 24-7 Prayer Canada, teacher at Westminster Theological Center, podcast host of Two Wise Fools, author, and neighbourhood enthusiast.Have you ever taken time to walk through your neighbourhood and point out the beauty you see? It’s so easy to see the lacking, the grisly, the ugly, that all-too-often we miss the simple joy and charm all around us.Aaron White, resident of the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, shares about the incredible beauty found in his neighbourhood—the beauty of “family”. Not necessarily always in a nuclear family, but in a biblical family that goes beyond bloodlines and into community. Sometimes focusing on the rough edges can leave us feeling helpless to bring about change in our own neighbourhoods, churches, and cities. But what if we started even smaller—with our tables? What if we invited someone new and began to change the way we eat together? Such a simple and beautiful invitation has the potential to ripple beyond our wildest imagination.Recommended Resources:Vancouver Downtown Eastside - Vancouver City website24-7 Prayer Canada - websiteWestminster Theological Center - websiteTwo Wise Fools - podcastEpisode hosted by Shelaine.
