In our penultimate episode through the book of Ruth, we explore what it means to be a witness, along the way considering what Jack calls the “broken witness,” as well as how social media can help us. Do you know how to show up in an “active” way in your life? Take a look at the chapters headings below to see the ground we cover.
As noted in the introduction, this episode is dedicated to Amelia “Mia” Subich (2017-2024), who was about as genuine of a witness to life as you could hope to find (see the picture below!). And show some love to Luke Sewell (aka Antiphon Editions) on Instagram!
