In this episode, Mike and Tim tackle the challenges of local advocacy, the ongoing struggle for equity and inclusion within school systems and why we pray to God as Father. Through the lens of cruciformity and the teachings of Jesus, the conversation dives into faith and politics, navigating cultural challenges, and wrestling with the complexities of justice.
From celebrating small victories to grappling with discouragement, the hosts reflect on what it means to live out a theology rooted in love, humility, and hope, even in the face of opposition. This episode also touches on the nuanced legacies of influential figures, the importance of communal resistance, and the spiritual intimacy of prayer as taught by Jesus. How do we embody faith in a way that centers on the marginalized and resists systemic injustice? What does it look like to adopt a posture of trust, curiosity, and creative resistance?
We encourage and would love for you to engage in this conversation. Share your thoughts, questions, and reflections on Facebook, Instagram, or wherever you connect with us. Let’s continue exploring how faith shapes the way we navigate justice, cultural challenges, and the call to live as a transformative presence in the world.
