Get in Formation: How Justice Forms Our Faith

Why Tho

Get in Formation is a new series to inspire spiritual and personal growth. After the year we've all endured, it is important to find ways to refresh and renew our faith. Practical tools, helpful tips and inspiring wisdom, this series is jam packed with good stuff. On today's episode, we discuss how justice has informed our faith. Through the current event of the trial of Derek Chauvin, we discuss the pillars of justice - integrity, love, mercy - and what it means to live justly. How do we continue to remain in relationship with others who don't share a love for justice or think we're too political? How do we value forgiveness and accountability? What books, resources and people inform how we think about Jesus and justice? This is a helpful show for those processing this week's events and for those who are curious about or hungry for justice. Books mentioned on this episode: The Very Good Gospel by Lisa Sharon Harper Journey to the Common Good and Prophetic Imagination, both by Walter Brueggemann The Prophetic Lament and New Evangelicalism, both by Dr. Soong Chan Rah Unsettling Truths by Dr. Rah and Mark Charles. Since we mentioned the history of evangelicals and politics, consider reading Jesus and John Wayne by Kristen Kobes du Mez. Loving this series? Let us know!
