Fauci's Next Chapter, Student Loans, BODY IMAGE, & Understanding Power w/ Deborah Lee
This week we talk about the retirement of Dr. Fauci and the recent student loan news!
Question of the Week:
In the age of plastic surgery, weight loss surgery, instagram, and social media, how should we navigate issues of body image, especially as people of faith?
Special Guest:
Deborah Lee, Executive Director, Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity & Minister with the United Church of Christ
Guest Question:
As Christians, how should we understand “power” and “security”? There is the human understanding of power through might, force, and domination, but aren’t we called to something different as people of faith? Additionally, how are we to recognize the power that the church currently holds while reconciling the historic ways that power has been used for good but also for bad?
Resource Roundup:
Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity
A Feminist Vision of Genuine Security and Creating a Culture of Life (from the International Women's Network Against Militarism)
