    New Life Fellowship Church

    Finding yourself on mute doesn’t just happen on zoom video calls. It happens in our homes, our cities and in our world. Whether it’s the cries of minorities or the pain of the marginalized, many voices are placed on mute. But on this Palm Sunday, we see how the plan of God through Christ empowers us to unmute ourselves.

Episode Description

Producer Tommy Joia on this episode:

Last year, I went to my town’s board of education meeting with some friends and saw parents advocating for twelve books to be taken off of shelves. We were all taken aback by this, as we never really expected it to happen in our own hometown. 

Since then, book banning has only become a more prevalent issue. Through this podcast I’d hope to bring awareness to it so it doesn’t slip from the public consciousness. I would also hope to break down some of the beliefs parents have so that listeners could gain an understanding of why they want books to be banned, and why their arguments can be disingenuous or ill-informed. 

When books are banned, topics surrounding various minority communities are kept from students in schools. With that, there is not only a lack of representation, but also a lost opportunity for students to understand their peers and themselves.
