Place and Belonging: How can we be better Neighbours?
Space holds people's stories and lived experiences. But this isn’t the only way to think about belonging, identity and home. What are the things that make us feel like we belong or don’t belong? How do relationships form us and give us a sense of belonging?
Part of experiencing freedom in Jesus means that we know that every part of who we are matters to Him. Join Mahlatse and Lusanda Mashua in this next episode of Circle Around as they discuss how belonging is negotiated and what it means to navigate belonging between two worlds. They talk about how names matter because they tell us who we are. They share their personal experiences of code-switching between white and black spaces, between school and home. They share the pain of what it means to be a black person who at times is striving for a sense of belonging in their own country. By making room to remember these stories, we can be better neighbours. We can begin to intentionally affirm that which brings out the beauty of God in other people and resist the things that erase the image of God in ourselves and others. Tune in for all of this and more.
