In this special episode, George and I take a break from hanging out with our guests and let Aaron Stauffer lead!
Join Aaron, Director of Online Learning at Vanderbilt Divinity School, as he leads a compelling conversation with three distinguished scholars exploring the deep connections between the social gospel movement, labor, and economic justice in the South. In this episode, our guests—Associate Professor of History of Christianity Paul Lim, Distinguished Professor of Theology Joerg Rieger, and Dean of the Divinity School Dr. Yolanda Pierce—share personal stories and insights on how faith communities can address racial and economic disparities through prophetic action.
We delve into the legacy of prophetic work rooted in the intersections of religion, race, and economics, discussing how these elements continue to shape the mission of Vanderbilt Divinity School today. The conversation challenges listeners to consider their roles in fostering economic democracy and the importance of translating theological education into practical, impactful actions.
Whether you're interested in the historical roots of social justice movements, the role of faith in advocating for labor rights, or simply seeking inspiration to bring about change in your community, this episode offers thoughtful reflections and actionable insights. Listen in as our guests encourage you to engage with your community, leverage your unique gifts, and embrace the prophetic call to justice.
