Tune in to this special podcast episode with Brandy Brooks, a new friend of Ivy's through our "When We Walk By" book group, but a longtime friend of BFJN! In this discussion Brandy and Ivy discuss their faith journeys, what brought them to BFJN, the importance of aligning one's actions with God's teachings, and the need for Christians today to live out their faith authentically. They explored the disconnect between Christian values and actions, emphasizing the importance of repentance, community building, and understanding God's nature through His word, making reference to various passages throughout both the Old and New Testament. Brandy expresses hope and praise for God's truth shining through despite human error, distortions and failures and proposes a vision for faith leaders in Massachusetts coming together to lament, confess, and recommit to living out God's word with a deep focus on justice.
