    Listening to the Voices Crying Out

    Listening to the Voices Crying Out: June 2nd, 2020 Joel Seymour Download Hey all. Obviously, this is a bit of a different episode. But, this is an important one. I want to do my part to give voice to those who are protesting peacefully, and showing love to the communities who have been hurting this week. I encourage you to do the same, whether in sharing the message of our fellow humans who have been wronged, or even more so by opening up dialogues. If we are too afraid to discuss issues like this, than we are too afraid to make a difference. Let’s put an end to fear, and let’s fill it’s place with abundant love.
