Episode 2- Barnabas's Story

In this episode, Barnabas shares his story of encounter, unlearning, and renewal—how friendship with Jewish and Palestinian folks, led to a fellowship at Auschwitz the summer of 2024, and a witnessing trip to the West Bank in the Spring of 2025.  His honesty gives us permission to take responsibility for the ways Christians have caused both Jewish and Palestinian suffering.

Rather than offering answers, this conversation invites us into patience and repair—sitting with hard history, unlearning anti-Jewish readings, and recovering a faith concerned with land, justice, and right relationship. It’s an invitation to let Scripture expand our moral imagination, not shrink it.

Episode reflection guide coming soon.
