Warm spices, treasured memories, and a taste of generosity—today’s Made To Share episode with Aarti Sequeira brings it all together! In this heartwarming video, Aarti welcomes her friend, pastor and NBA chaplain Kenneth Lock, to share how his journey of compassion and service inspired a Sri Lankan-style bread pudding. Layered with coconut, dates, cardamom, and even a dash of black pepper, it’s a dish shaped by global flavors, family traditions, and God’s call to hospitality.
Discover how Aarti crafts each step of the bread pudding recipe, infusing it with flavors reminiscent of South India and Sri Lanka, inviting viewers to “travel through their taste buds.” Then, meet Kenneth Lock—his passion for serving at Compassion International and sponsoring a child in Sri Lanka becomes the spark for a deeper conversation on why generosity and compassion matter, especially in uncertain times.
This episode isn’t just about cooking. Aarti and Kenneth dig into how Christian hospitality is an everyday act—welcoming, blessing, and loving others as Jesus did, even with just a pan of bread pudding and a willing heart. Compassion International partners with families around the world, reminding us the Gospel is most alive when we make room for others at our table.
