Welcome back to Transforming Culture. This is our second-to-last episode, so if you're tuning in for the first time, check out our archive of episodes - the first episode in particular helps explain what this podcast is all about. This week, we're interviewing Steve West, a pastor and professor, about how to have conversation about social justice. He's a great speaker, and brings his unique blend of wisdom and humour which is both incisive and disarming. Social justice can be a tricky thing to talk about these days, because it feels like getting it "wrong" on social justice can be a friendship ending move, but Steve gives good insight into how we can examine the roots of justice for clues about how to move forward together with others. Enjoy!
