Finding Community as Misfits: Reflecting on our conversation with Dr. Gregory Coles
About this episode
In this thoughtful follow-up conversation, hosts Peter Voorhees, Malissa Bertella, and Josh Lott unpack their interview with Dr. Gregory Coles, reflecting on the beauty of embracing our "misfittedness" within authentic Christian community. The hosts share personal stories of awkwardness and not fitting neatly into expected boxes, while celebrating how diverse communities enrich our lives when united by shared mission. The conversation highlights how the gospel transcends cultural differences and political divides, creating space for genuine connection across unexpected relationships. Drawing on Greg's experiences as a third-culture kid and his insights on belonging, the hosts explore how Christ calls us to find community not necessarily among those who are just like us, but among those with whom we share a deeper purpose.
