About this Episode
"I hate your religious festivals", God exclaims in Amos 5:21, "Instead seek justice for the poor". (paraphrased) Amos pulls no punches for those whose religiosity doesn't lead to equality.
Garrett Harper; friend, colleague, and Executive Director at Urban Ministry in West End Birmingham, AL joins Clay and Ross to talk about ministry that makes a difference and how the kinds of folks that go to church and listen to Bible podcasts might do a better job obeying Amos.
