The Unlearning Curve is about shifting the story of how change really happens. Hosted by the St. Charles Center for Faith + Action in New Orleans, each episode features one guest - from neighborhood organizers to national advocates - who is “doing the work” on issues such as racial justice, faith-based community care, LGBTQ+ rights, housing, immigration, and mass incarceration. Through candid conversations, listeners move beyond hot takes and doomscrolling to hear how real people of faith and conscience are building coalitions, changing systems, and creating communities grounded in equity and empathy. You’ll leave each episode with a true story, a fresh lens, and at least one practical insight you can carry into your own work, congregation, or neighborhood.
