We're all living next to a cliff.
How can we train our homes to be the places of stranger conversations and invitations to tea?
Home Isn't Home Anymore
A new study by Ikea of 22,000 people in 22 countries suggests that many people no longer feel home at home. 45% go sit in their cars in order to get a break.
What does this say about society? What does it say about me being a person of hospitality and safety? What might it say about the church trying to make people feel at home?
Compassion and the True Meaning of Empathy
Can we learn to feel other’s pain?
The word compassion comes from the Latin “with” and “suffering.”
The Greek equivalent, “empathy” is “in” plus “pain.”
It means “I hurt when you hurt.”
How do we raise a child, a family, a society of true compassion and empathy? Joan Halifax has some marvelous thought on nurturing compassion in a oft-times cold and polarized world.
Great talk for Cross+Gen conversations.
