What if the most courageous act is simply being present with those in need?

In this conversation, hosts Johan Heinrichs and Wendi Park are joined by Emily Dmytriw, community outreach pastor at Anchor Pointe Church and heart behind the Fort Garry Collective. They delve into the profound impact of presence and vulnerability in community. Johan shares his journey from the safety of the stage to the raw reality at the table, while Emily recounts her heartfelt connection with Wayne, a member of the community whose friendship and narrative left a lasting impression. Emily's story inspires listeners to see beyond discomfort and engage with genuine compassion.
