I had always attributed Jesus to gentleness or at least perhaps this trait in him. Whilst of course this is true of his spirit, it didn’t mean he was silent in the face of injustice. Join me as I reflect on Jesus' challenge to the Pharisees'. I chat about how we might apply this passage to living justly today and uncover a different facet of his character; one that fearlessly confronts injustice and hypocrisy.

St Augustine said that our hearts are restless until they rest in God, but missionary Edwina Gateley adds that our hearts are restless until all God’s people live in peace and have access to basic necessities. In this week’s episode Issy reflects on Psalm 82, the call to take steps to release people from oppression and the revelation that deliverance is God’s promise.

From giving his life to Jesus in a skatepark to managing a Foodbank on the Whitehawk estate in Brighton, Joe delves into the driving force behind his actions.

Having worked in the homelessness/social action sectors for the last five years; we are interested in opening up the conversation on how the Christian faith and justice interact.

"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy." Proverbs 31:8-9
Following the Christian faith is not just about maintaining personal holiness and attending Church on Sunday’s - it challenges us to uphold the cause of the oppressed. What we know is that Jesus’s character includes a deep love and concern for those on the fringes of our society. His zeal for equity led him to advocate for the socially powerless and we feel confident that it is our responsibility as people of faith to work towards building a better world, for all.
We believe that by committing to acts of mercy, making peace, and advocating for justice, whether that be in our homes, the workplace, or in our nation we can paint the world in God-colours. We want to explore the intersection of faith and justice through thought-provoking conversations. We will share inspiring stories and explore the bible as we seek to inspire and challenge people to reimagine what faith in action could look like in their lives.
