We dive into the importance of diverse voices at the table, the nurturing of a culture of belonging, and the pursuit of reconciliation in our interactions. Portia emphasizes the need for humility, owning our impact, and making amends when necessary. Together, we explore the profound impact of diversity on presenting the gospel and creating inclusive spaces. Drawing inspiration from Jesus, we discuss the role of empathy and compassion in fostering unity and belonging.
