I recently found this podcast and am so happy I did. The content is so hopeful and encouraging at this precarious time. I have been sharing it with many people I know. I wish more of our church leaders would speak about living as Jesus calls us to in the beatitudes ❤️

Jim Wallis on “The Soul of a Nation” interviews fine leaders like Rep. Jim Clyburn, covering topics of great relevance and importance to America and the proper expression of following Jesus. To reflect God and help this nation move forward, the horror of white supremacist racism must be addressed and put away. White American Christians especially must speak out against the evils of racism and white supremacy, both in U.S. history and today. Jim Wallis is at the forefront of that battle against systemic racism.
