We've talked about a lot of big-picture topics on this show: culture, community, suffering. But today, we're getting intensely personal. We're going to talk about the quiet, nagging feeling that sits in the pit of your stomach. It's the feeling that you're just going through the motions. That your prayer life is non-existent.

 The world screams at you with a thousand complex and contradictory requirements. God simplifies it. This is your "true north." Instead of trying to master the latest social justice trend, focus on these three things: act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly. This is a standard that never changes and a path you can follow with confidence, no matter what the crowd is doing.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/renovating-faith--7058285/support.

There's a concept from political science, often associated with Erica Chenoweth's research on nonviolent revolutions, that suggests it takes as little as 3.5% of the population actively participating in sustained, non-violent protest to create major political change.
