"What is ours to do?": A Conversation with Our Hosts, Elizabeth & Ivy

In this episode of "Let's Talk Faith and Justice," hosts Elizabeth and Ivy delve into the challenging task of navigating current world events through the lens of faith, emphasizing the grace of taking each moment as it comes. Ivy shares how the comforting words of Proverbs 3:5-6, especially in "The Message" translation, have offered solace and grounding by lovingly guiding her to trust in God and lean not on her own understanding, acknowledging Him not just in her actions but also in her thoughts and mindset. The discussion highlights the vital role of community, exemplified by their "Lament, Learn and Act" cohort, as a space for vulnerability and shared burdens, echoing the communal roots of Christianity. Together Elizabeth and Ivy reflect on the painful impact of events like ICE raids and cuts to global health funding, leading to a deeper, more compassionate exploration of how faith traditions and disciplines, much like the reading of scripture such as the Psalms of David, tenderly offer strength and guidance for enduring and acting with love in an uncertain future. Listeners are warmly invited to share their own experiences of finding comfort and enacting change within their spiritual journeys.
