    Exactly what I needed!
    I recently found this podcast and am so happy I did. The content is so hopeful and encouraging at this precarious time. I have been sharing it with many people I know. I wish more of our church leaders would speak about living as Jesus calls us to in the beatitudes ❤️
  • ForeverHis@23
    Inspired, Revealing, Much Needed
    Jim Wallis on “The Soul of a Nation” interviews fine leaders like Rep. Jim Clyburn, covering topics of great relevance and importance to America and the proper expression of following Jesus. To reflect God and help this nation move forward, the horror of white supremacist racism must be addressed and put away. White American Christians especially must speak out against the evils of racism and white supremacy, both in U.S. history and today. Jim Wallis is at the forefront of that battle against systemic racism.

    Restores my sanity
    ….and helps to show me a way that Christianity can be a beacon for change rather than a tool for promoting white supremacy.
  • Susmarine
    Truth telling at its finest
    Jim Wallis is a national treasure — a white cis man who looks at and talks about white supremacy and many other social ills unflinchingly. I learn so much from him and am a better Christian thanks to his courageous example.

    A gigantic breath of fresh air
    Love this podcast and love the heart of Rev. Jim Wallis.

    Phenomenal
    Voices we so need. Thank you. Keep up your good good work.
  • CubsFan-4-Life
    America needs this podcast.
    A must listen. It isn't an exaggeration to state how much our nation needs this great podcast. Jim Wallis has wholeheartedly embraced the need for us to tackle politics from a faith perspective. With "the newspaper in one hand and The Bible in the other", Jim invites us to see the world from the lens of how God would see it - not from the lens of partisan politics or vapid media coverage. We are to be the salt and light of the world, so let's take a stand for true justice in Jesus name.

    More Candidates Please!
    Can’t wait to hear more interviews with the other remaining presidential candidates! These conversations have been meaningful and authentic.

    What our nation needs
    This podcast is just what our nation needs. Makes me happy to see an evangelical leader following scripture and speaking the truth. We need more evangelical leaders speaking out.
  • AFroNaut
    The truth is in the title
    The voice of faith in action desperately needed in the current political climate.
