Honestly, I love The Traitors. I especially enjoyed the recent celebrity spin-off and I’m now anxiously waiting for the next series. Perhaps it’s my personal connection to Scotland, where the series is filmed, or maybe it’s the grand castle, the dramatic music score, or the intense cliff hangers that drive me to keep watching.
Coming alongside people over the past 10 years or so, I have often felt frustrated, confused and overwhelmed as I encounter the brokenness of the world, of people and of myself. Sometimes things can feel too big for me, too complicated, too messy.
In British culture, it can feel obtrusive, even rude, to expect or ask that of people, but perhaps in order to come alongside people well at the start of their journey, we need to be humble enough to allow others to feel comfortable and to enter their lives.
