Episode 5 - Young Adult Voices: Justice in a New Generation

What does justice look like through the eyes of a generation that grew up online, came of age in 2020, and refuses to accept that the world can't be better? Co-hosts Dilys Brooks and Nathan Brown sit down with three young adults — a congressional staffer, a medical student, and a political studies student — for an honest, inspiring, and occasionally uncomfortable conversation about faith, justice, hope, and what the next generation really wants from the church and the world.TIMESTAMPS0:00  Intro & Theme Music00:53  Host Welcome    00:54  Guest Introductions02:24 Journeys towards Justice — Pax, Ashley & Alanah 06:06 Defining Justice — Three Perspectives08:47  How Does Justice Connect with Faith?11:41  Is This the Faith You Grew Up With? 2020 as a Turning Point16:12  Who Inspires You?
