Episode 124: The Holy Work of Activism—A Conversation with Jody England Hansen
How does your religion influence your activism? And how does your activism influence your personal practice of your religion? For Jody England Hansen, there’s never been a boundary between “What kind of member of the Church are you?” and “What kind of member of the world are you?” She writes, “If you see a need, an injustice, and there is something you can do about it, Jesus calls you to do it.” Episode 124 is a conversation about showing up to advocate for and support others in the world, wherever, whenever, and however we feel called to do it.
