Welcome to Season 1, Episode 1!
In the podcast's inaugural episode, "Jesus, Justice + Mercy," host Kristen introduces a 4-week series honoring Black History Month. With empathy and a call for understanding, she delves into historical aspects like the Middle Passage, Slave Codes, wealth and housing gaps, voting rights, and the enduring impact of systemic racism, urging listeners to confront uncomfortable truths and consider the implications for today's society. Kristen emphasizes the importance of learning from Black sources, fostering empathy, and challenging historical narratives to promote justice, mercy, and a deeper understanding of the Black experience.
