After a bit of a hiatus, we are thrilled to be back with Leah Jacobson, founder and CEO of The Guiding Star Project, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, and author of Wholistic Feminism: Healing the Identity Crisis Caused by the Women’s Movement. Leah lives in Central Minnesota with her husband, Josh, and seven children.
Her quote comes from Edmund Burke (we think; that attribution is contested), and was painted on the wall of her high school psychology classroom:
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
A couple other quotes we discuss in this episode are from St. Teresa of Calcutta:
“I do not pray for success; I ask for faithfulness.”
“We have the obligation to speak the truth but we don’t have to convince anyone.”
and St. Augustine:
“The truth is like a lion. You don't have to defend it. Let it loose. It will defend itself.”
Leah also mentioned the film, The Business of Birth Control.
