MoxieTalk with Kirt Jacobs Episode #119: Joseph Phelps

Pastor Joe Phelps feels a call to embody God's justice and love in the world. He has been the pastor at Louisville's Highland Baptist Church since 1997. Over the past 15 years, the church has increased its commitments to sharing its view of the Christian message, mission action, and to work for social justice in the community and beyond. Phelps drew national attention from news stations and radio shows in 2006, when he appeared in an ad campaign titled, "Wake Up Wal-Mart," which brought to light the company's record on child labor issues, gender discrimination, and poor healthcare plans. Phelps is also a published author and an occasional guest columnist for the Courier-Journal newspaper and Leo Weekly magazine, as well as EthicsDaily.com, where he also serves as a board member. Phelps was the founder of an interdenominational, inter-racial group, No Murders Metro, and is a board member of Kentucky Refugee Ministries.
