Shooting Up
Feb 1200:56:19Tap to summarizeJonathan Tepper’s family wasn’t your typical missionary family. His dad was Jewish convert to evangelicalism. He had an MBA from Harvard but decided to be a missionary instead, first in Latin America then in the drug-riddled slums of Madrid, where he and his wife started Betel, what became a multi-country ministry that has rehabilitated thousands of drug addicts. When Jonathan was growing up, the AIDS crisis swept through the Betel community, and Jonathan lost multiple people he considered big brothers and sisters. He also lost one of his actual brothers, in a car accident.Unlike mine, his new book, Shooting Up: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Addiction, is not a commentary on missions or evangelicalism, and you’ll find he’s reticent to answer my questions along those lines. Instead, he has written a traditional, narrative memoir. Nonetheless, as an MK, I related to various thematic elements of his story, although at times, I was at times frustrated by his refusal to explicitly draw them out. But the general reader will be moved by this beautiful story of what it means to love across divides and in the face of overwhelming grief.

Episode 6: No Greater Love
Jun 2500:56:09Tap to summarizeWelcome to our dazzle of stripe-less zebras! Here we tell stories of belonging—finding it, losing it, making it, leaving the places you don’t belong, and ultimately being at home with your true self.I met Shayla Genegabus recently and randomly at a dinner and was captivated by her spirit and her story. She is a veteran, a mom, and a three-time surrogate or gestational carrier. She has worked with two same sex couples to make their dreams of parenthood come true. I think you’ll be moved and inspired by her generous heart and commitment to serving others, even at great sacrifice to herself. But I think she’d say she’s gotten as much out of giving of herself as she has put in.
