This is about listening to the stories that make up this unique and diverse church in downtown Winnipeg, One88 Community Church. When we listen to each other’s story, we tell the other person that who they are matters. We recognize they have value, that they matter to God and should matter to us. Listening to others’ stories helps us better understand each other. There are no easy answers to the complex issues that we find in society but when we listen to each other, it brings us together, and perhaps we can more effectively work towards solutions.

A year before he passed away, Rob sat down with me and we recorded his story. I have pieced it together for us to listen to today. (Podcast music by Nicole Ens)
