Why We Pray with Our Feet, a conversation with co-hosts Emelda and Trudy

 

What does it mean to pray with our feet? How can we spark change through conversation, one moment, one day, at a time?  What is the biblical basis for activism (Proverbs 31:8-9, Matthew 25:40 and Amos 5:24 and Isaiah 54:6-7). 

All this and more on our first episode lifting up the intersection of faith and social justice / activism. 

We delve into - 

Sharing God's grace and love with folks who have different lived experiences than us.  Why activism must be intersectional - immigrant children in detention centers, folks caught in the web of mass incarceration, climate justice, dismantling white supremacy - all of it is connected.  The story behind the phrase "pray with our feet", a quote from Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel.   How we connect to God through our creativity.  Why we're so excited for you to hear our upcoming guests, some include: Rev. Amanda (founder of Raising Imagination, an online community, and co-Pastor at Middle Church), Avril Sommervile, activist and writer (Journey of a Life on Purpose) and Rev. Lyvonne Proverbs (founder of Beautiful Scars and Emmy-award winning media producer) and Dr. Marisela Gomez, author, activist and public health physician. Watch her TEDx talk.
