Does Jesus know what it is like to also betray someone?

A trip in the country is what it took to scoop up some manure for my compost pile. Then I take you on a journey as I educate A&T students about composting and what temperatures mean. 

Thanks for joining! 

Many folks think that composting is just for those that love the earth and trees, or maybe gardeners. But my argument is that composting is act of food and land justice, and we all, especially those who are fighting for racial justice, should be looking for ways to dispose of waste that makes our frontline efforts last longer. 

We all know that organizations and agencies are doing good work around food charity: giving food to those who need it. However, what I confronted within the food charity model was shocking, and saddening, and put me on a quest to make sure it is more well known about the politics and governance of food, which is used as a resource, commodity, and necessity for survival.

As a small business owner and starting podcaster, I thought it would be delightful to share stories from the Holistic Produce Pantry that I am part of. Hope to Thrive is a faith-based organization and we took on a food pantry in March 2020. It started out with just giving Personal Protective Equipment and COVID19 monitoring and mitigation (hand sanitizer and thermometers), and then quickly turned into food once the opportunity was given. 

This episode is sponsored by Slow Food USA. Their generous support helped to bring an interview and the recording of our team to your ears. I am grateful for Anchor and their wonderful podcast site which made it easy for me to record and edit. 

What you will hear are snippets from an All Volunteer Meeting that we often hold to discuss challenges of the pantry and to onboard new volunteers. I am narrating the missing pieces of how this story is weaved together. 

Please don't forget that this is a listener supported podcast, and you can leave your financial support on my podcast site. 

In addition, our Holistic Produce Pantry would love your support and you can make a donation directly to the Holistic Produce Pantry at this website: https://www.hope2thrive.com/donate/

Proceeds from this podcast episode will also go to the Holistic Produce Pantry at Hope To Thrive. 

Thank you for your support, love, and all that you are in this world to help bring justice and peace to others. 

HI Everyone!

This is my journey of joy. I'm Joy T. Williams and I am thrilled to be talking with you about so many topics. So pull up a chair, turn on your best engaging self, and let's begin some great conversations!

I explore this question on my social media and share some of the results with you. I just want to clarify, that we are not talking about turkey breasts here, but rather, perky breasts. In addition, I do not receive any money for any advertisements announced. You are free to add your thoughts in the Q&A on spotify. Thanks! 

Within this short segment I discuss whether or not it is worth doing a podcast and the profound question of, "Who will listen?" A must hear if you are contemplating whether or not podcasting is for you. 

I had no idea that I would ever read myself into the adulterous text laid out in Hosea and Nehemiah. But I have begun to see that in many ways, I am the adulterer that is described in these texts. I explain my reasoning briefly and connect to pop culture in how there aren't many discussions around how to heal after adultery. I would love your take on this topic.
