Miller and Doug Strong, contributors to the book Awakening to Justice: Faithful Voices from the Abolitionist Past. The conversation weaves through the fascinating discovery of a nearly 200-year-old abolitionist diary, authored by David Ingram, a white missionary who served freed slaves in Jamaica. The episode highlights Ingram's seamless integration of evangelical faith with social justice, as he fervently advocated for the oppressed. A.G. and Doug also spotlight two other key voices from the book, Nancy Prince and James Bradley, whose personal faith journeys illuminate the courage of African Americans in the face of systemic injustice. Drawing parallels between historical abolitionist efforts and today's racial and political divides, the guests explore how the lessons of the past can guide believers to embrace justice and love in contemporary society. With timely reflections on the role of faith in addressing modern challenges, this episode invites listeners to consider what it truly means to live out one’s beliefs in a divided world.Awakening to Justice: Faithful Voices from the Abolitionist Past: https://a.co/d/iojIIBh Support Sarah Stankorb’s work and preorder Damned If She Does: Why Women Quit Church and What It Means for the Future of Religion, Releases September 15, 2026.  Bookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/a/112456/9798889837091Website: https://www.sarahstankorb.com/Support the showKeep the conversation going.Want to learn more about Faithful Politics, suggest a future guest, or connect with us directly?Visit our website:faithfulpoliticspodcast.comBrowse our bookstore, featuring books from many of our guests:faithfulpoliticspodcast.com/bookstoreSupport the show and help us keep these conversations going:patreon.com/cw/FaithfulPoliticsSubscribe for behind-the-scenes content, reflections, and updates:faithfulpolitics.substack.comContact the hosts:Josh Burtram, Faithful Host: [email protected] Wright, Political Host: [email protected] Faithful Politics:Instagram: faithful_politicsFacebook: FaithfulPoliticsPodcast
