S14E04 : Dr. Krish Kandiah

In this episode, we’re joined by Dr Krish Kandiah to talk about hospitality and what it can look like in everyday family life. Dr Krish Kandiah is the director of Sanctuary Foundation, an author, social entrepreneur and broadcaster amongst many other things! Together with his wife Miriam they are adoptive parents, birth parents and foster parents. Krish shares how his heart for hospitality was modelled by his mum’s generous, open-door approach - showed him what loving others really looks like, even in the face of racism. We chat about how hospitality can be part of ordinary family life: from fostering or adoption, to inviting someone over for a birthday party, or just noticing who might need a welcome at church. Krish reminds us that hospitality is all rooted in knowing that we are loved by God and only then can we love others well. In this episode, we talk about Framing (one of our Five Key Tools) for our children and teenagers.
