    How do the intertwining threads of love and justice weave a powerful narrative of transformation within the fabric of communities? In this episode, host Kaitlyn Schiess engages in a thoughtful conversation with guest Amy Williams, who has worked in gang intervention and restorative justice for over 29 years. Together, they explore practical avenues through which Christians can actively contribute to the restoration and flourishing of their neighborhoods, viewing the process through the lenses of love and justice. Williams emphasizes the importance of walking alongside the community rather than attempting to lead from a distance. Her lived experience reveals that by immersing herself in the daily life of her neighborhood and embodying love, she has become a vessel for infusing hope into countless lives, particularly those of the incarcerated youth. Her story highlights the importance of doing internal work to sustainably serve others.

Consistency and presence within these communities are foundational in establishing trust for partnership; it's not about one-time events, but continual engagement and support.
