i'm well familiar with the hypocrisy in american history towards its relationship to asian immigrants. There is no other country i would have wanted to emigrate to if you give me that ralseyin, likeyou can have it blindfoldend and choose any youno. That tells you America's greatness, right? And i want to make American life great once again.

This week David’s theological wingman Curtis returns from his July sabbatical. He’s rested and raring to go, but rather than dive into another hot political or cultural issue, Curtis actually has some remarkable insights to share about the nature of sabbath rest and the spiritual discipline of letting go, stepping away from our illusions of ultimate control and placing all our striving in God’s hands. In the second half of this episode Curtis also shares some important thoughts about the nature of remembrance and loss based on his experience at the 9/11 Memorial. If you’re a regular listener who is tempted to skip this episode because it’s not Good Faith’s regular political/cultural fare, then this episode is even more for you.
