Wow, this inspires me to my core. Thank you Fr. John Dear for speaking the truth with so much love, clarity, and strength.
I can no longer listen to most podcasts about the news, as it feels like fiddling while Rome is burning. The Nonviolent Jesus podcast offers radical and welcome relief and inspiration.
I get a lot out of it.
Each conversation between Fr. John and his guest deepens my understanding of our shared history and what is mine to do in these challenging times. Challenge, yes, commitment, yes, and HOPE!
I love this podcast! I have been looking for this mix of discussions about faith and social Justice. But in this episode it wasnāt abstract! I was so thankful to finally hear someone say what I have been saying about what is happening here in the U.S. It is evil. The thing that I needed even more was how to resist the evil and also to care for ourselves- our spirits - during this time. Thank you so very much!!
