In this episode of the Radical Middle podcast, hosts Tommy Nixon and Lenmarie Pascall take a deep dive into the concept of "justice fatigue." They explore the multifaceted challenges of staying actively engaged in social justice amidst the backdrop of overwhelming global crises. The conversation touches on the intense pressures faced by public advocates and the very real risks of burnout when justice efforts start to overshadow one's spiritual grounding.
Tommy and Lenmarie candidly discuss the personal toll that continuous activism can take and emphasize the crucial need to integrate faith with activism. They offer insightful critiques of performative activism and the pitfalls of prioritizing social media presence over genuine, meaningful engagement. Throughout the episode, they advocate for a more sustainable approach to advocacy—one that champions personal well-being and authentic involvement in social causes.
