Breaking Bread Podcast: Recent Episodes
Kelly Suzanne Saulsberry
The Breaking Bread Podcast is hosted by four of us friends in Chicago who have spirited discussions over dinner on a range of issues. We believe that through evolving minds, compassionate hearts, and brave listening, the human race can be stronger together. Welcome to Breaking Bread!
In this episode, the Breaking Bread crew dives into the realities of the noise and unrest we feel in the midst of last week’s maddening news cycle that has taken a toll on the minds and spirits of so many of us. Channyn kicks us off with her experience recuperating from COVID-19, and she, Eric, John, and Kelly talk about when and why both noise and quiet are necessary in this time. To remain silent in the face of injustice and bigotry is to be complicit, and to create noise through mean-spiritedness, slander, and violence is harmful. But noise can be destructive, and silence doesn’t always mean complacency. Both have power and are necessary. They invite you to reflect on the power of both noise and quiet and how you’re using both in this time of spiritual and social unrest.

The Breaking Bread crew get real about grace and forgiveness during COVID-19. They ask themselves what grace and forgiveness even mean, the common assumptions and misconceptions about them, and the times they’ve had to extend grace and forgiveness to themselves and others during COVID-19.
Channy, Eric, John, and Kelly also talk about their individual challenges of facing uncertainty and a loss of control over some aspects of their lives, of managing the self-imposed pressure of having to be as productive, strong, or as health conscious as they once were, and of sifting through the political noise and dysfunction in our country.
The Breaking Bread crew ends by sharing what each of them does in fact feel in control of and empowered by, what they’re grateful for, and how they're connecting with and supporting family and friends during this time. This crew invites you to think about what grace and forgiveness mean to you and how you’re extending it to yourself and others in the midst of COVID-19.
