In this episode, Trevor interviews Rev. David Robertson from High River United Church.
The COVID-19 pandemic isn't the first crisis David has experienced in his time as a minister. In June of 2013 High River experienced 325mm of rain in less than 48 hours. The vulnerability and resiliency that David experienced during the aftermath of the flood is the same vulnerability and resiliency that he utilizes when approaching the COVID crisis. This episode was filmed over a year ago and the discussion could not be more relevant to the world we live in today!
Over the course of this 90min episode, David shares an abundance of wisdom including that "before we get to hope we need to come alongside our vulnerability and name it for what it is." He talks about gratitude, his writing practice, hesed (the Hebrew word for unconditional loving-kindness), and play!
David and his partner have been the ministerial team at High River United Church for over 25 years. David is a student of Dr. Gordon Neufeldt. You can read David's staff bio from the High River United Church website here: https://www.highriverunitedchurch.org/about/staff
