How can we create spaces in our communities and ministries where people of different backgrounds feel like they belong? What’s the difference between belonging and feeling “comfortable,” and how does discomfort help us grow?Cesar Castillejos has years of experience fostering meaningful belonging for kids and young adults in youth ministry. He shares countless gems of wisdom in this episode, like- When should we come in as a learner and a servant instead of a doer? How are we using our opportunity and access to equip and empower others? Are we prepared to get out of the way so that others can grow? How can we create “holy confusion” that leads to awe and wonder about Jesus? Cesar addresses all of this and more.

Making Space for Belonging with Cesar Castillejos

Our next guest is Cesar Castillejos. Cesar is a ministry leader, speaker, and creative artist amongst many other things he's involved in. He lives in Richfield, MN with his wife Kate and two daughters. Cesar has been a youth worker with middle school and high school students for nearly 20 years. Some would say that he's a professional kid. He likes to say, that he's a teenager with 20+ years of experience. In this episode, we talk about Cesar's upbringing as an Asian American, what it's like living through the COVID-19 Pandemic. We end the conversation on how the labels and words we use to describe ourselves and others have the opportunity to unite us or the power to divide us.
