Episode notes

Curtis: I think there's a couple different categories. One is just in terms of our team structure, sometimes we have made some mistakes in who we brought onto the team and there have been some painful lessons learned that we hadn't really fully vetted people. A third category is just the numbers of violence themselves. And so it's just, you know, the violence is complicated. It's very painful for us as an organization and for us personally.

How can Christian respond to the epidemic of gun violence sweeping our country? Michael Allen and David Dillon join us to share about their inspiring work with Together Chicago. They are an unlikely pair in a racially divided city torn by violence: Michael is a former black pastor and David is a white business executive. Starting with their own friendship, Michael and David have led an innovative and inspiring campaign to counter the evil of gun violence with collaboration and hope.
