Sacred Conversations

In this episode of Sacred Conversations, we sit down with Georgia State Senator and Episcopal priest Kim Jackson to explore what it means to lead from the margins. Senator Jackson shares the journey that led her from the pulpit to the legislature, offering insight into how her faith shapes her commitment to justice, housing advocacy, and LGBTQ+ inclusion. Together, we reflect on the sacred responsibility of public service, the spiritual call to show up for the most vulnerable, and the importance of holding space for nuance in both politics and faith.
