Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The History and Practice of Christian Community Development
Q: Why does CCD still matter in our era and what should the church take away from this conversation?
CCD remains vital because true community hinges on relationships, dignity, and reconciliation grounded in faith. The church should embody and live out the gospel, prioritizing ongoing investment in youth, mentorship, and a practical, justice-centered faith in community life.
The History and Practice of Christian Community Development
Q: What is happening today at the Perkins Foundation, and what activities excite you the most?
The Foundation continues to serve children, families, and churches through youth development, leadership formation, justice pilgrimages, and opportunities to connect people with the gospel, with pilgrimages being a current passion and focus.
The History and Practice of Christian Community Development
Q: Tell us about Elizabeth Perkins, who you are and what shaped your understanding of community, faith, and CCD?
Elizabeth describes growing up as the youngest of eight in Jackson, Mississippi, and learning CCD as a life and lifestyle embedded in family and faith, not just as a formal philosophy. Her parents modeled hospitality, mentorship, and a commitment to justice through daily actions and relationships.
Why Should We Care About Election Protection?
Q: Hmm, that's good. And that term, election protection, could you define that?
Election protection means ensuring every eligible voter can cast a ballot, that ballot is counted accurately, and that participation happens without intimidation or unnecessary barriers, while avoiding partisanship.
What are Cohorts? And Why Do They Matter?
Q: Why are cohorts important to this world?
They provide a structured, relational space for leaders to learn from one another, support one another through challenging times, and grow in capacity to serve their communities with faith-based, asset-centered approaches.
