It’s one thing to say “we’re in this together.” It’s another thing entirely to practice “belonging” and pay the kind of price required to actually broaden one’s tent; to include people who would just as soon exclude or eliminate you from the socio-cultural mix altogether.

He is an activist, a spiritual leader, one of the most valued voices in the country when it comes to the conversation about police/community trust building and gun violence. He is my guest on this episode. Check it out.
