In this heartfelt episode of Made To Share, Aarti Sequeira welcomes her dear friend Julie Lyle to the kitchen—and invites you into a deeper conversation about Christian hospitality, generosity, and compassion. Today, Aarti rolls out tender, whole wheat chapatis inspired by her upbringing and by Julie’s unique connection to Uganda, where these Indian flatbreads have found a second home as the base of the beloved Rolex. As she kneads, Aarti shares how bread-making becomes a form of prayer and therapy, a chance to slow down, breathe, and prepare a meal that invites others to truly rest and belong.
Julie Lyle joins Aarti virtually to reminisce about stories that cross continents—and chocolate cookies! Together, they reflect on the messy, joyful realities of offering true hospitality. What does it mean to make space at the table for God’s family, to set aside perfection and welcome others with real compassion? Through laughter and honest testimony, this episode explores how food is more than sustenance; it’s a bridge to radical generosity and deeper connection. With Compassion International as a partner, you’ll discover how cooking and sharing a meal can echo God’s invitation to care for children and families everywhere, in Jesus’ name.
