I haven't talked a lot about my religious foundations, which come straight out of the American Colonial period, because... well, it's complicated, right? So grateful to Nina Jonson for joining me to talk about Christianity in 2022 and how the church reconciles its role in racism, xenophobia, and colonialism with "loving everyone."

Nina Jonson is the Director of Children and Youth Ministry at Plymouth Congregational Church in Minneapolis, the church her family has attended for generations. There is little she loves more than supporting children and young people, and all her employment history—from bee educator at an apple orchard, to traveling sex ed teacher for a clinic—has focused on empowering youth. She is currently also the president of the middle school PTO, a Girl Scout troop leader, and a very part-time bakery waitress. In her spare time she loves doing anything with her family, dancing, and being in community theater.
