8.4 [CONVERSATION] When We Disagree (wk 4) - Zach's Story

Zach Gillis and Beth Graybill - In a world with so much relational strife, we are spending time talking about how to know when it’s time to bring that relationship to an end or, in some cases, when to lean in to restore and reimagine the relationship. This weekend, we take these ideas from the abstract and listen in on a conversation about how one beloved member of our community has had to lean in and out of different relationships in his life.

CONTENT WARNING: This conversation tackles some difficult topics such as addiction, abuse, and marginalization. As always, please care for yourself well while listening, consider processing this conversation in community, or skip it until you can do either or both of those things.

Beth Graybill and Zach Gillis both call South Bend City Church home and are actively involved in the greater South Bend community. Beth, who facilitates this conversation, is a collaborative consultant and storyteller that currently works as a Senior Talent Acquisition Consultant at the University of Notre Dame. Zach, who shares some stories from his life, is the Care Pastor and Worship Associate at South Bend City Church, is the Dean of Students at The Portage School of Leaders, and pops up around South Bend to lend his voice to a variety of music experiences.
