Shannan Martin, author of Start with Hello and The Ministry of Ordinary Places, joins the Coffee Break to share her journey of moving from a place of "fixing" to a place of "belonging." In this soulful and practical conversation, we explore why the most transformative neighborhood work is often the least impressive: showing up, staying put, and opening our doors. Shannan discusses the importance of being "findable" in our neighborhoods and how simple rhythms like walking the block or sharing a meal can bridge deep social divides. We dive into the spiritual practice of lowering our expectations to make room for God’s surprises, rediscovering the joy of living as people who are truly at home in the places where we have been planted.

This preview is just the beginning of the story. If you’d like to watch the full hour-long conversation, we invite you to become a Parish Collective member and join us in supporting the work of neighborhoods everywhere.
