Activism - Pebbles, Protests & Letters to Power

Join Tim and his ten-year-old son Elliot as they dive into a month of activism—raising money, writing letters, marching for libraries and endangered birds, and quietly standing in solidarity at a Gaza vigil.Along the way, they explore what activism actually means, how faith might connect with social action, and whether small acts of kindness and courage can make a difference.With honesty, curiosity, and a few painted pebbles along the way, Tim and Elliot reflect on what it’s like to step into activism together—when one of you is still learning what activism even is, and the other grew up in a faith that never really talked about it.If you'd like to give to Tim and Elliot's 165 Mito Miles in May campaign, visit their GoFundMe page.If you’re enjoying Homegrown Faith and want to support what we’re doing, you can head over to our Patreon page for bonus episodes and a bit of behind-the-scenes goodness.If signing up isn’t your thing but you’d still like to send some encouragement our way, a quick rating or review on your podcast app makes a big difference.Since the podcast is all audio, if you’d like to see what we’ve been up to, you can find photos and little glimpses of our journey over on Instagram and Facebook.And if you’d like to share your own experiences, ask us a question, or suggest a practice for a future episode, you can drop Tim an email here.Like the podcast, our theme music is also homegrown—written by Elliot and produced by our friend Wilderthorn.
