In this episode, Pete and Jared sit down with Malcolm Foley and, drawing from his book The Anti-Greed Gospel, discuss how economic self-interest has fueled racial injustice, how the church has been complicit & resistant, and what it means to practice economic solidarity rooted in the life of Jesus.

Just read this book 'Fully alive' by ‪@elizabetholdfield.bsky.social‬. What a great book: intelligent, brutally honest, humorous, presenting her wisdom of life, sharing her faith in God, and all that written in real beautiful English phrasing, 200% in the cultural language of 2025. Recommended!

For my book on the vocation of artists with @brazospress.bsky.social I knew I wanted to read at least three autobiographies by dancers. The three I've read to date have been fabulous: by Misty Copeland, Jenifer Ringer, and Alvin Ailey. All it's made me want to do is to keep reading such stories.
