Corner Booth
🍽️ Remember high school lunch? The “cool table” was full, and you were left balancing your tray, scanning the room, wondering where you belonged. 😔 For many of us, that feeling never left. Sometimes church feels the same way—like there’s an inside circle, and we’re not in it. We show up, but we don’t feel seen. We worship, but we still feel alone. This week on Other People’s Shoes, I sit down with Brandon Booth President of Signpost Inn https://www.signpostinn.org + host of the Signpost Inn Podcast to talk about those moments of rejection, isolation, and the ache of not belonging. But here’s the good news: 🍵 there’s a spot waiting for you at the "Corner Booth". A place where you don’t have to earn your way in, where belonging isn’t about being “cool enough,” and where you can finally slow down and be met by God’s presence. 👣 In this episode, we dive into: ✨ Why hospitality matters more than polished programs ✨ How to reconnect with God when He feels distant ✨ What it means to find rest when life is noisy and chaotic ✨ Brandon’s own journey with feeling unseen and what brought him back to hope 🎧 Listen now: opspodcast.com Your seat at the "Corner Booth" is already saved. 💺 Will you join us? #opspodcast #leavingheelprints #takethestairs #newpodcastepisode #CornerBooth #HungrySeason #Belonging #FaithJourney #SpiritualDirection #OtherPeoplesShoes
