Welcome to the table!
We’re continuing to work our way through Acts 16. We’re looking at the events which took place surrounding the beginning of the Church at Philippi. God worked through missteps, opposition, and persecution to bring an entire household to faith in Christ.
In Acts 16 we meet an unnamed jailer who became another one of the living stones being built into the framework of the Church at Philippi. The jailer and his household crossed over from darkness to light through listening to Paul and Silas rejoice in the night. Their joy gave birth to more joy.
Kimberly joined me for discussion around all of these events. In our conversation we tackle some hard things like being annoyed with people who need our compassion. This passage also contains examples of human trafficking and antisemitism. You know we don’t avoid the hard topics at the table.
In episode 39 we tackled the polarizing topic of immigration. If you missed that episode, please go back and listen. Link to Bri's book and the Women of Welcome site: Start With Welcome
