    S2 Finale: A Roundtable on Belonging with Rohadi Nagassar & Brittany Tinsley

    After an unplanned break, we are wrapping up season two and our series on belonging with a roundtable discussion. Sarah has invited two guests—Brittany Tinsley and Rohadi Nagassar—to join her in responding to questions that have surfaced from fellow listeners or readers of The Way of Belonging over the course of season two. The desire with these roundtable conversations is to allow room for a variety of thoughts, beliefs, and experiences so that we can continue to walk in compassion, curiosity, and humility as we learn to live more deeply with God and each other. Find episode notes and additional essays on the communal life at Human Together on Substack. Sarah's book The Way of Belonging is available wherever you typically buy your books. You can connect with Rohadi at Rohadi.com or on Threads and with Brittany on Substack and Instagram. Human Together is written and recorded by Sarah E. Westfall and is produced and edited by Ben Westfall. Theme music is “Sit with Me” by Sarah Scharbrough.

    S2, E9: Creativity, Not Competition with Merideth Hite Estevez

    Creativity does not often come up in conversations about belonging, but in this episode, Sarah talks with Dr. Merideth Hite Estevez (professional oboist and author of The Artist’s Joy) about how reconnecting to our creative identity (yes, all of us…) changes not only how we see ourselves but also how we relate with God and each other. They talk about widening the definition of creativity and handling competition. Merideth also offers some practical questions to reconnect with our creativity and the joy of making, whatever it is that we make.
