Sacred justice is new podcast that will feature discourse rooted in the pursuit of justice as sacred practice. Our weekly discussions will reflect on current events, art, media, theology, and how this intersects with the movements for freedom and liberation. We hope that through these conversations, we can foster inclusivity by expanding our learning opportunities. We hope to cultivate digital community beyond the confines of our campus. We hope to reconnect the church’s social and spiritual callings.
