Listening to the Poor and Victims of Oppression

The podcast discusses the importance of listening to everyone, especially the poorest members of society, as highlighted in a recent letter. It emphasizes the need to avoid thinking solely with the mind of the world, which can be influenced by secular contemporaries. While the Synod's conversations touch on issues of oppression and victimhood, the podcast encourages Christians to approach these topics in a distinct way, focusing on thinking with the mind of Christ and seeking solutions rooted in holiness.
