EP 1 - In this welcome episode of the *Beautiful Justice Podcast*, host Deanna Mason introduces the show’s mission to address oppression-related brokenness through spiritual formation and a pursuit of justice and unity. She explores how biblical justice is rooted in the restoration of human flourishing, and how modern culture often encourages avoidance of relational conflict, which stands in contrast to Jesus' call for unity. By referencing John 17, she emphasizes that true justice involves deepening our relationships with those around us, even when it’s uncomfortable.

Deanna also outlines the podcast’s goal of helping listeners transform their hearts to reflect Jesus' vision of justice and unity, especially in the context of race and reconciliation. Future episodes will feature biblical insights, interviews, and practical ways to bring justice into daily life.

Listeners are invited to download, *30 Ways to Get to Know Your Neighbor*, and take actionable steps toward cultivating unity in their own communities.
