S2. Ep 1. Practicing Empathy by "Becoming All Things”

EPISODE DETAILS

This week at the Empathy Table, Ideos’ Amar Peterman is joined by Dr. Michelle Ami Reyes. Michelle and Amar speak from their shared Indian American identity about the importance of naming, articulating, and embracing our cultural narrative, the role of empathy in faithful Christian practice, moving our churches towards true, multi-cultural worshiping communities, and how Paul’s claim to “become all things to all people” helps us in all these tasks.

Michelle is Vice President of the Asian American Christian Collaborative and Co-Executive Director at Pax. She is also the author of Becoming All Things: How Small Changes Lead to Lasting Connections Across Cultures (Zondervan, 2021), and Scholar in Residence at Hope Community Church in East Austin, Texas.
