It is no longer a viable option to remain uninformed. But who you choose to listen to can either challenge or reinforce a perspective. What Jer and Osheta present offers me ways to learn and put feet to what I would like to ignore but know I only do so to my own detriment. Thankful for their wisdom born from boots-on-the-ground living.
Thank you so much for making the Restoring Friendship into podcast episodes! It made it much more accessible, and the conversations were so rich! I’d love if you could do that with all the webinars. Thanks for all you do to help in our formation as peacemakers!
It’s so hopeful and encouraging to learn about how everyday people are loving others and living out Jesus’ Way of peace. Thank you for sharing their stories and for all your work.
Loving this podcast. Great to hear so many perspectives on how Christians can be a light in our divided nation

Hearing examples of individuals disrupting their lives to pursue a greater peace is inspiring and provokes both thought and action in my own community. I’m excited to hear more of how these everyday peacemakers invoke the name of Jesus to stand up for others, rather than sticking to the status quo.
