In this special episode of Peace Talks, Rev. Bill Haley and Bishop Todd Hunter talk about the online conference they are co-hosting called, "Do You Want To Be Well?"The threads of Christian nationalism, racism and white supremacy, and patriarchy are not often discussed constructively in the same conversation—and we rarely explore paths toward healing. This online conference will offer something different: opportunities for hope, healing, and spiritual practice.⁠To register for the conference, go to: https://inthecoracle.org/do-you-want-to-be-well-2024-conference/.» Subscribe to PEACE TALKS Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/peace-talks/id1590168616About the Center for Formation, Justice and Peace:Justice and peace come from the inside out—from the overflow of a transformed heart.

His songs have been described as, “contemporary Psalms with the earnestness of George Herbert, the reverent doubt of R.S.

Zac Koons, Mockingbird Magazine) In addition to songwriting, Guerra, alongside his wife, Valerie, composed music for Terrence Malick's “A Hidden Life” (2019).

Todd Hunter is the founding Bishop of an Anglican diocese called Churches for the Sake of Others. His spirituality has been raised up through leadership in Alpha USA, so he has been formed by that deep heart for gospel-centered evangelism. His native language is Kingdom, justice, peace, Spirit-empowered leadership and missional ecclesiology. And his passions play out in places like The Center for Formation, Justice and Peace, which he founded … and in seminaries and universities all over the country where he participates in training up the next generation of spiritually formed, justice-seeking followers of Jesus. Bishop Hunter is a gift to the Church, and his latest book — What Jesus Intended: Finding True Faith in the Rubble of Bad Religion — is written to call that Church to become all it is meant to be.
