Diversity with Trillia Newbell | Ep. 55 - a podcast by Emma Koch
from 2020-03-25T12:00
Trillia Newbell joins us this week on the podcast to talk about diversity. When we are tempted to get comfortable in relationships with people who look like us, Trillia encourages us to branch out, intentionally build relationships, and love our neighbors. She discusses her experience being in the minority and challenges us to consider where our hearts lie on the issue.

What’s Refreshing:
God’s at work: Trillia’s being encouraged that God’s working through her ministry by hearing testimonies of people becoming Christians at her speaking events.
Noteworthy quotes:
“The workers are few- go, share” - 7:17
“Jesus died for anyone who would believe. He’s given us on to ethnic mission” - 19:20
Questions for consideration:
- Where do you struggle with bias, stereotypes, being comfortable where God has called you to be loving?
- What does God’s call to ‘love your neighbor’ look like in your life? Ask the Lord, “how can I most love my neighbor, pursue understanding, and others in love?”
