In this episode we look at the life of Fr Louis Twomey who was a Jesuit priest in the Southern US. He lived at a time when segregation was alive and well. He too was deeply racist in his outlook on people of color, but after a conversion of heart he became one of the fiercest defenders for equality for people of color.

In this episode I share a parable that I wrote, the Parable of the Water Drop. I hope that you are encouraged by this to understand that you are not alone, but are part of a large and beautiful story that God is telling.

In this episode we will take a look at Judges 11 and the life of Jephthah. We will discuss how our words can be a source of creating a just society. Our words can build others up and inspire them into living a good life and overcoming their struggles.

Keep your calm, because not everything is an injustice.
