As we grow we can find ourselves at odds with some of the people who have helped us get to this point.  The wake of Trump's presidency and George Floyd's lynching have created extraordinary tension in relationships that seemed meaningful.  We have found ourselves drawing new lines in the sand and wondering who will really be with us?

Our guest this week is Andre Henry!  He's a prolific singer-songwriter, author and activist inviting us to imagine and fight for the world that ought to be.  We get to talk about his forthcoming book "All The White Friends I couldn't Keep" and he shares stories of fighting for justice and the toll it has taken on his mental health.  Then we reimagined Matthew 13:31-33 and discuss the extraordinary power of a few "ordinary, outraged and organized" folks.  If you are reconciling your faith with your ethics and fight for justice, we imagine you'll feel seen in Andre's story.
