Ep. 123: Religion is… Divisive?

Send us a message via text message! Link accessible at joyousjustice.buzzsprout.com. ✅Inspired by April’s appearance on a panel entitled, “Religion is…divisive,” and in the shadow of Martin Luther King Jr Day, we dig into the ways religion can be used to defend or to dismantle systemic oppression. Together, we think through what we believe comes after the ellipses (we don’t LOVE ‘Religion is… divisive.’), weaving in our understanding of the role of religion historically and contemporarily. Register for our upcoming live, interactive 5-day workshop, Roadmap to Resilience: https://joyousjustice.com/roadmapInterested in Grounded & Growing?
