Soul Care Conversations: The blessings of relationship at the world’s busiest airport

The Potter’s Inn recently featured Barbara Pendergrast, chaplain at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, on an episode of Soul Care Conversations. We’re pleased to republish the episode here:

In this episode Kaylene and Atlanta Airport Chaplain, Barbara Pendergrast, talk about the power of providing spacious presence for others so they are truly seen. This hospitality is demonstrated through showing up, attentive listening, and also silence. Join them as their conversation takes us from the world’s busiest and largest airport to the singular importance of every person in the world. We hope you feel seen today.
