The Case for Restorative Justice with District Attorney Flynn Broady
Flynn Broady Jr., an army combat veteran and recently elected District Attorney, educates us on the meaning, methods and outcomes of restorative justice and fills us in on the Ahmaud Arbery murder case he is helping to prosecute. DA Broady explains the roles prosecutors, defenders and judges play in the trying and sentencing of offenders and how they can work together to best serve the community at large. We discuss how restorative practices affect recidivism and influence overall crime rates and how they most closely resemble the type of justice we see modeled for us in the New Testament. Jesus, justice and so much more come together in this thought-provoking and informative conversation.

Real Estate's Role in Racism with Jonathan Rich
Entrepreneur, lead real estate agent and housing activist, Jonathan Rich, joins us to dive into the history of racism in real estate, how we can bring equity in today’s practices and how his own journey has informed his heart for building communities full of homes, not houses.
How has zoning, wards and redlining had generational effects on community development? Why and how were the suburbs created? How does where you live affect your access to food, education, transport and other necessities? Were there racist real estate laws and when did they get reformed? What can we do today to help change the lasting effects of these historical evils? Jonathan answers these questions and more in an episode that equips and educates us to thoughtfully engage around this reality.
