All the best to you

Profound thanks to you for hosting this podcast. It’s been one of the things that has helped channel my family toward justice and toward meaningful work in this world. We will miss your gracious, insightful podcast presence. There are many new voices helping to shape our world because of the NA. Thank you and all the best to you and your family.

Love it!

These podcasts have been very helpful as I try to catch up my ignorance in regards to my racial education. I’m learning a lot about God’s love and truth from people who advocate for justice as a lifestyle. Thanks for hosting these!
