The Jess Connolly Podcast

Episode 87: Justice + Injustice


Listen Later

You can’t turn on the news without seeing injustice. You can't scroll social media without hearing about injustice. How do women of mission respond to injustice? What do we do? How do we use what we’ve got for the good of others and the glory of God, all the while knowing that we are placed exactly where we’re supposed to be so that we can respond to injustice right now?

In this conversation with Jess and Kennesha, we’re defining what justice is and what justice is not. We’re looking to the justifier - Jesus - to teach us how to love people best. And we’re talking action steps for going forward, because we know that what has limited you in the past does not have to limit you now. You can have God’s capacity to love the things He loves. Let it be in us, God.

LIsten in on this conversation (this is only the beginning for us!), and know this: we’re on your team. We’re with you. We’re curious, we’re hopeful, we’re ready, we’re lamenting, and we’re prayerful. You have a friend, and we are with you.


We quote three of our friends in this episode, and we want to make sure you follow these incredible women!

  • Give our friend KJ Ramsey a follow. She's an incredible writer, and we're so grateful for her voice.
  • Bernice King is a powerhouse, and she's giving us the words we need to hear. Her words in the injustice conversation have encouraged and equipped us. 
  • And we also talk about Osheta Moore's peacemaker vs. peacekeeper idea. She's another amazing friend of ours - give her a follow to glean from her wisdom.

  • Some of our top book recommendations on injustice:
