In Episode 22, we are joined by Chris and Jaidy Smith. Chris and Jaidy are a pastoral team serving in central North Carolina at Jordan Memorial UMC and La Luz De Cristo IMU. Jaidy was born and raised in Puerto Rico while Chris is a native to North Carolina.
They met in Puerto Rico and began a life together nearly 14 years ago. Their marriage reflects two cultures coming together in the same way it does in their ministry. Through their Fresh Expressions in rural and suburban areas in Western North Carolina, Chris and Jaidy seek ways to bridge cultural and language barriers, creating spaces for authentic love-based communities.
In this episode, we discuss multicultural community building, the epidemic of loneliness, and Expresiones de Amor.
