In this episode, we hear from Oakland-based peacemaker, Rev. Ben McBride who challenged us to be hard on systems and soft on people; to prioritize formation in the stillness so that we can operate with more mercy in the storms; and to honor the image of God in our perceived allies as well as our perceived enemies.
