Alone, Our Vision Is Too Narrow, Our Strength Too Limited

If toxic individualism is the spiritual disease of today’s United States, what is the healing balm? Today we peel back layers of “beloved community.” What is beloved community? How does it come to be? What are the prime features?

Are faith communities uniquely situated to nurture this kind of community? And what characteristics will individuals need to strengthen, when they commit to such a community?

Our show pushes back against the unexamined, often unconscious ways that we frame public questions using political or economic modes of thinking. We aim to be part of a growing movement of people who are critical of the narrowness of political and economic categories, and who want to revive a vision of human flourishing that is grounded in the wisdoms of theological and moral philosophical tradition. We see these habits and ways of thinking as being pre-political, and foundational to a healthy and civil shared life in families, communities, economies, and polities.

In short, we want to foster conversations, develop habits, and create communities that are grounded in curiosity, going deep, and shining light.
