In this episode of Better Than Not, I had the distinct privilege to talk with John Johnstone who is Stó:lō First Nations and works with Multiply and Inner Hope Youth Ministries in BC. I met John after participating in a Blanket Exercise that he hosted. I was so impacted by the event that I invited him to the podcast. We explored themes of identity, reconciliation, and the importance of relationship. John spoke on the significance of invitation, love, and relationship in healing communities, particularly in the context of historical injustices faced by Indigenous peoples. John shared his experiences as part of the 60s Scoop and how it shaped his understanding of identity and faith. Our discussion emphasized the need for uncomfortable conversations in healing relationships that start with an invitation.
