In the book of Amos, God confronts a people who kept all the outward appearances of worship while their hearts were far from Him. They sang the songs, offered the sacrifices, and gathered for worship — but beneath the surface, they were consumed by idolatry, greed, and injustice. Real worship is not measured by songs sung but by lives surrendered — lives marked by justice, mercy, and wholehearted devotion.

In this episode, I speak with Fernando Deveras, an educator, community organiser, and social media activist. Fernando shares his personal story, from his family's immigrant roots to becoming a middle school teacher and using his platform to educate on complex social issues.We delve into the importance of understanding history, the lonely yet vital work of fighting for justice, and the concept of "revolutionary optimism". Fernando discusses the power of community, how to organise effectively, and the role of education as a tool for either conformity or freedom.This is a powerful conversation about finding our shared humanity and taking collective responsibility in a world that profits from our division.Key TakeawaysThe fight for justice is often not a popular movement in its own time; it is carried by the love and passion of a few who persist despite a lack of widespread support.A true understanding of interconnectedness means recognising that our comforts and privileges can come at the expense of others' suffering, which creates a moral responsibility to act."Revolutionary optimism" is the idea that we can draw strength and hope from the legacy of past generations who fought against and overcame immense struggles, reminding us that change is possible even if we do not see it in our lifetime.Effective community organising is built on finding common goals and connecting on a human level through shared joy, not just shared problems. It's about reclaiming our natural, collective way of being.Education is never neutral. It can either be an instrument for conformity, reinforcing the dominant worldview, or a tool for freedom that encourages critical thinking and the imagination of a different world.Episode Highlights03:23: Fernando talks about his background, from his family's roots in Mexico to his work as a middle school teacher and community organiser in Santa Ana, California.11:53: Fernando unpacks the meaning behind a James Baldwin quote about love and freedom, and what it says about the nature of social justice work.20:30: In response to a student's question, Fernando explains why he speaks out on issues that do not directly affect him, highlighting the concepts of interconnectedness and collective liberation.30:20: Fernando explains the concept of "revolutionary optimism" as a way to find hope and endurance by looking at the legacy of historical struggles for justice.42:30: We discuss the Malcolm X quote, "We aren't outnumbered, we are just out organized," and Fernando shares his experience on how we can build community and organise effectively.About the GuestInstagram: @‌Fernando.DeverasLatinx Parenting Instagram: @‌LatinxParentingWebsite: latinxparenting.orgEpisode LinksJames BaldwinBook: Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo FreireFBI Counterintelligence Program: COINTELPROConnect with Megan:Instagram: ⁠@‌HigherLove_withMegan⁠Website: ⁠www.higher-love.com⁠This episode was written and recorded by me and produced by Lucy Lucraft (http://lucylucraft.co.uk )If you enjoyed this episode please leave a 5* rating and review!

In this powerful message from James 5, we explore God's direct words to both the rich who exploit others and the believers suffering under oppression. Pastor Coston teaches that while God sees injustice and will bring judgment, His people are called to remain spiritually whole, patient, and faithful. Through vivid examples like Job and the prophets, and a call to integrity even under pressure, we're reminded that God's justice is certain—even if not immediate. This is a call to trust God's timing, establish our hearts in faith, and avoid grumbling or hasty promises.

Those 11 practices, along with the covenant, were affirmed by the congregation 10 years ago. We invite you to listen deeply to these reflections, and to engage with what you both read and hear.

Our show opens with something that I've been ruminating over since the murder of those two young people in the streets of D.C. If we have had a few generations indoctrinated under the oppressor v. oppressed model, that worldview does not allow for forgiveness. If you are an oppressor, you are always guilty of being that. But, since the Left almost always projects their own sins on their political enemies, is that why we are seeing all this anti-Semitism, which has now escalated to murder? We then examine the violent and emotional Left and wonder if anyone from that side of the aisle will start to speak out and address it? The Auto-Pen controversy is now being thought of in terms of elder abuse of Joe Biden. But, rest assured, Jake Tapper confirms what I told you about the motivations behind the “tell-all” book. We are seeing a positive step forward when it comes to health and how the SNAP program will work.

“Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; uphold the rights of the afflicted and the destitute. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” - Psalm 82:3–4As followers of Christ, we're called to advocate for the vulnerable and protect the oppressed. One of the most urgent needs today is among girls and young women in Lebanon. May-Lee Melki joins us with a powerful story of hope and a way you can make a difference. ​May-Lee Melki is a Lebanese-American advocate, legal scholar, and ministry leader dedicated to advancing justice and holistic transformation in the Middle East. She serves as the Strategic Engagement Manager at Heart for Lebanon, an underwriter of Faith and Finance.The Crisis Behind the HeadlinesIn a society shaped by shame-and-honor dynamics, without a biblical understanding of human dignity, refugee girls—especially Bedouin and Kurdish—are often seen as burdens or liabilities. Add to that multiple wars, a collapsed economy, and weak legal protections, and the danger becomes tragically clear: girls are exploited because they're seen as expendable.But Heart for Lebanon is stepping in not just to rescue—but to prevent. That may sound counterintuitive until you hear stories like Ferial's—a grandmother who joined a literacy class to model a different future for her granddaughters. After coming to know Christ through Heart for Lebanon, she said, “I can't change what happened to my daughters, but I can change the future for my granddaughters.”Prevention means investing in the whole family unit. It means addressing spiritual, emotional, and physical needs by offering:Christian counseling in their native languageNon-formal education programs that integrate biblical valuesSafe, holistic discipleship environments for moms, dads, and childrenCommunity development rooted in the GospelOne of the most moving examples is Alima, a 10-year-old enrolled in Heart for Lebanon's Hope Education Program. Her mother, under cultural and financial pressure, began pushing Alima to abandon school and enter into marriage. But because of the truth Alima had learned through Heart for Lebanon—truth about Jesus and her God-given worth—she found the courage to push back.Her bold faith not only protected her from child marriage but, through prayer and persistence, led to her mother's salvation as well. This is the ripple effect of prevention-centered ministry.Real Change Through Holistic MinistryThe key to sustainable impact is community transformation. The goal isn't to isolate and remove girls from danger—which can sometimes cause more trauma—but to reshape families and communities from within through Gospel truth. When fathers, uncles, and guardians are discipled alongside mothers and daughters, entire cultural norms begin to shift.That's what Heart for Lebanon is doing every day—breaking cycles of violence and shame with the hope of Jesus.Heart for Lebanon is inviting the Faith & Finance family to join them in this mission. A gift of $114 helps reach and protect three at-risk girls, offering them education, protection, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.You can give by:Texting “FAITH” to 98656Visiting FaithFi.com/LebanonOur shared goal?

Jess Thorne returns to the podcast to discuss workers' self-management – from the Lucas Plan of the 1970s to Yugoslavian workers' councils. She explains how workers have challenged the idea that innovation only happens thanks to top-down management structures and asks what worker autonomy offers in the face of current political problems.Jess Thorne is a trade union organiser who has spent the last two years assisting health care assistants with a rebanding campaign. She is also a labour historian and has contributed to journals such as European History Quarterly, Labour History Review and History Workshop Journal.Tickets for Festival of the Oppressed 2025: https://revsoc21.uk/festival2025/Jess' report on workers' self management: https://autonomy.work/portfolio/worker-led-innovation/  SUPPORT: www.buymeacoffee.com/redmedicineSoundtrack by Mark PilkingtonTwitter: @red_medicine__www.redmedicine.substack.com/

Your Kids Don’t Suck: Cultivating Closeness with your Kids through Non-Coercive, Conscious Parenting

In this deeply honest episode, Cara and Rythea dive into the nuanced world of non-coercive parenting through the lens of Internal Family Systems, Parts Work Therapy, and Inner Bonding. They unpack what it means to parent in the moment while working with merged parts—protective internal voices that take over when we're triggered, especially by our kids.This episode explores the uncomfortable but powerful truth: sometimes we see our child as our abuser. Cara and Rythea get real about how this perception emerges, how it relates to unhealed trauma, and how those reactive parts are trying—however messily—to protect us.Cara and Rythea share real-life examples when their children activated them, and how they identified and engaged with the parts that took over. They talk about what it's like to notice in real time when you're not in your Self and how to compassionately return.Key TopicsUnderstanding merged parts and protectorsTools for recognizing when you're not in Self and how to returnProjecting past trauma onto your childThe healing potential of seeing your protectors as helpers, not enemiesCultivating Self-EnergyDismantling parental shame and reconnecting to our childrenThis work isn't about parenting perfectly. It's about parenting from presence, about having a relationship with yourself so that you can have an authentic connection with your child. By integrating your own protective parts, you make space for your Self-Energy to lead—and from there, all relationships, especially with your kids, become more truthful and safe.ResourcesMeditations by Dick Schwartz https://insighttimer.com/drrichardschwartzThe One Inside podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-one-inside-an-internal-family-systems-ifs-podcast/id1460334766Inner Bonding https://www.innerbonding.com/Book with Rythea calendly.com/rytheaBook with Cara calendly.com/caratedstonetherapySupport https://buymeacoffee.com/yourkidsdontsuck It's important and essential to put our voices (Rythea and Cara) in a context.

Human trafficking is a widespread crisis affecting over 21 million people, with traffickers profiting from exploitation. The church has a responsibility to confront this injustice by raising awareness, advocating for policy changes, and addressing cultural factors that enable trafficking, such as the over-sexualization of women. Christians must move beyond indifference, engaging in relief, restoration, and reform while ensuring the gospel remains central. Men should be raised to be protectors, and families must have open conversations about the dangers of online grooming and exploitation. Financial support is valuable, but giving time and encouragement to anti-trafficking efforts is equally important. Through prayer, action, and biblical justice, believers can work to combat human trafficking and support those affected.Send us a textThanks for listening!

Send us a textIsaiah 58:6-10 highlights the call to justice. Christ Methodist Student Pastor William Merriman contrasts true worship with false practices that neglect the marginalized, emphasizing that fasting must be paired with acts of service. He introduces the Hebrew terms "mishpat" (justice) and "hesed" (mercy) to highlight their interconnection.Merriman calls for a reevaluation of worship and Christianity's historical role in advocating for human dignity. He presents a three-step action plan for congregants: awareness, relationship building, and community service. Ultimately, he stresses that internal transformation and personal repentance are essential for effectively serving the marginalized, inviting congregants to embody justice, mercy, and humility in their faith.HOME | PLAN YOUR VISIT | BLOG | DIGITAL BULLETIN

Send us a textIn this sermon, Rev. Paul Lawler explores Isaiah 58:6-10 in conjunction with our Vision Statment, which shares, "serving the poor, the oppressed and marginalized." In our passage, God calls His people to perform religious rituals and live out a love that transforms the world. As the Israelites return from exile, they are shocked by God's rebuke: their fasting and prayers are meaningless because they neglect the poor, oppressed, and marginalized. Rev. Paul shares how God's heart is not in mere outward actions but in the way we treat others, especially those in desperate need. From injustice to apathy, Isaiah challenges us to live a life that reflects God's love and justice. Through practical examples, we're reminded that serving others is true worship's core. God promises that when we serve with sincerity, we will see His light, healing, and glory in our lives. HOME | PLAN YOUR VISIT | BLOG | DIGITAL BULLETIN

In introducing this podcast, I first want to acknowledge how darn pleased I am to have advisors in our organization who think differently than me and who aren't afraid to say as much. This podcast originated when one of our advisors, Pam Hayes-Bohanan, pushed back after an ILV panel discussion on Ethnic Studies. We have had many previous podcasts, labs and panels that question the trends in Ethnic Studies, so when I received this critique, I wanted to know more. Unsurprisingly, although we found many areas where we our perspectives differed, namely around Paulo Freire's book, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, through the conversation we also found unexpected convergence. In exploring our different viewpoints, we came to agree that one of the biggest problems is the flattening of education. We discuss the myriad of ways this is being done, including devaluing subject matter experts, a closing of ranks within some colleges of education, the rise of “pre-packaged” curricula, a growing number of administrators who micromanage education, often stripping it of its richness including critical thinking, the mechanical teaching for a test versus to instill the love of learning, and the downgrading of curiosity. While each of these problems may require distinct solutions, one thing we can all agree on is the need to, as Pam says, “not be afraid of ideas” and “just read more books”. More specifically, read books you tend to criticize (e.g. Freire in my case) to develop your own critical thinking skills and thereby learn HOW to think instead of WHAT to think.
