00:00You

00:31Oh

00:34This is the best one

00:35When you say to someone

00:38How did you hear about the Brie? Oh, yeah, what you're actually asking is

00:42What it what is it that God organized in your life? Like how does he bring you here? Yeah

00:47So it's actually a very profound question. Yeah. Wait, how did you hear about the Brie? You're asking me? Yeah

00:52I don't know the answer to this. Okay

00:55so well

00:58The Brie is the shelter

01:02And it attracts people who need that and I think if you've got it all kind of completely together

01:07You probably wouldn't find it appealing to come here

01:12What we share as neighbors living in the manor house

01:17is that we want to show the people who come here to get to know God in the ordinariness of life and the

01:24The little things I think the things we do they are very ordinary

01:28It's just reflecting as we sit around the table for a lunch discussion. This is so simple

01:33They are not in a contradiction we don't need to be less human to be spiritual

01:41Sometimes people we come thinking or shelter great

01:44I won't have to deal with the difficult things in our life

01:47Whereas I would say it's shelter is meant to give us a place to deal with the difficult things

01:52I can see what I will do until the end of summer

01:56It's not after them. We're getting good just in time for you to leave

02:01Most of the people who I had bad feeling at first

02:04I got to like them very much. We have to rest and sort of sit in sometimes I think really difficult and

02:12lowly places and that is sometimes I think a haven for us to be able to finally reconcile with

02:19a returning to home

02:22I'm gonna cry thinking about all the people that filled this room

02:26Sometimes there's really painful things that people are leaving to go to on the bus trip here

02:33All I could think of was how crazy I was to come to a house and live with strangers and no Wi-Fi

02:38Two months later is still crazy. I have come back to life here learning a lot about pain and grief

02:44But even more about community to go home with hope

02:48It feels like you have to leave with such a big theology of the kingdom that there is

02:53you know someday coming where all the world will feel as real and hard and

02:59solid as this time and that in that place all of these people will be there too and

03:04We'll get to catch up and say what happened after that

03:17You
