Fumi Tosu and I went to school together at the Jesuit School of Theology in Berkeley. Since then, he has committed himself to following the spirit of God, which has glided him back across the globe to his home country of Japan to savor his cultural heritage, back to California to minister with people experiencing homelessness at the Catholic Worker house in San Jose - and now to Oregon as he supports his partner in her pursuits. You’ll hear about what he’s learned by living so close to people on the margins… how inappropriately both the Obama and Trump administrations have spent money on war… and what he now knows about the instinct to help people. Listen in.

If you don’t know Chase Tibbs, host of the Faith + Capital podcast, I’m so excited to introduce him to you. He’s a pastor’s kid from Indiana, raised in a conservative White evangelical community… but he started asking questions. “Is there only one Christian interpretation of sexuality?” “What about the Bible? Is there only one way to read that document?” and - most recently - “What about capitalism? Is this the best system for fostering the ‘beloved community’ about which Jesus spoke?” He’ll dive into those questions and more in today’s episode of On A Mission. Listen in.
