Hospitality, Vulnerability, and Transformational Community, with Jo Swinney on her book A Place at the Table
Description
In this episode, Forrest is joined by his occasional cohost, Christine Sine. They talk to Jo Swinney, Director of Communications for A Rocha International, a global family of conservation organizations working together to care for creation, and equip others to do likewise. Specifically, they talk about a new book that Jo co-authored with her mother, Miranda Harris. The book is called A Place at the Table: Faith, Hope, and Hospitality. In that book Jo draws from lessons learned from being part of a family that has always practiced hospitality that also creates community among conservation-minded people from all over the world. In this episode, she shares her practical wisdom from experience regarding what it takes to show true hospitality—including the courage to practice vulnerability with those we invite into our spaces.
