S2, E5: Choosing to Stay with Sara Billups

a conversation about attaching ourselves to places, people, and the church

Sara Billups on season 2, episode 5 "Choosing to Stay"

Continuing our series on belonging, Sarah and guest Sara Billups dive into this notion of staying put—both to a geographical location but also to the church. Sara shares pieces of her own story as they ask: how does attaching ourselves to places and people affect our sense of belonging? Where and how might God be inviting us to stay?
