A Guest in Someone Else’s Story with Eric Barreto
Manage episode 334254652 series 2715870
Eric begins by retelling the story of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts chapter 8. He explains that the eunuch did something that people in power typically don’t do: He asks for help. Eric describes his own upbringing in a faith that fell short of demonstrating love and justice to the marginalized and made him feel like he could only belong in the context of whiteness. But the story in Acts 8 shows us that in the wilderness, all you need is a question, a witness, and the presence of God. Eric concludes by reminding listeners that God is not a stranger to the wilderness, and in the wilderness, there is belonging, delight, and the unending grace of a God who always has one more seat at the table. Following Eric’s talk, Jeff and Sarah reflect on the layers and textures of wilderness and loving, imaginative hospitality.
