If you're a parent or a grandparent, I know you've felt it. That knot in your stomach when you see what the world is throwing at your kids. It's not just the playground bully anymore.

We've talked about a lot of big-picture topics on this show: culture, community, suffering. But today, we're getting intensely personal. We're going to talk about the quiet, nagging feeling that sits in the pit of your stomach. It's the feeling that you're just going through the motions. That your prayer life is non-existent.

There's a concept from political science, often associated with Erica Chenoweth's research on nonviolent revolutions, that suggests it takes as little as 3.5% of the population actively participating in sustained, non-violent protest to create major political change.
