Summary

This is our unabridged interview with Musa al-Gharbi. Society has never been more focused on equality and diversity… right? The last few decades have been marked by a drastic increase in what often gets labeled “social justice.” Companies and individuals perpetually take very public vows to defend progressive values and denounce all kinds of injustice. But somehow, in spite of all this, social and economic inequalities have only worsened. How is this possible? “The fundamental tension,” argues Musa al-Gharbi, “is that while a lot of us are committed to social justice, we also really want to be elites.” Musa makes the case that an excess of public symbolic gestures has created a backwards world where justice is preached but rarely done, offering a sharp critique of the ways many of us, on all sides of politics and culture, have used social justice as a subtle way to serve ourselves.

0:00.0	Hi, friends, Annie F Downs here. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, distracted, or unsure where to
0:05.7	begin when it comes to reading scripture, I want to invite you to read the Gospels with me every
0:10.3	month. That's Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Every day on the Let's Read the Gospels podcast
0:15.8	is an invitation to slow down and spend intentional time with Jesus through Scripture.
0:21.3	I started reading through the Gospels in a month because I kept trying to read the whole Bible
0:25.3	in a year and would find myself getting behind and getting frustrated.
0:28.8	So I asked myself, what if I just started with the Gospels?
0:32.2	And it turns out I kept wanting to read them over and over, and it has changed my life.
0:37.6	If you do three chapters a day for 30 days, you get all four books read in a month, and we've
0:42.4	been doing that on the Let's Read the Gospels podcast for years now.
0:46.7	Every day on the Let's Read the Gospels podcast, we read three chapters, and then I end
0:51.5	with a prayer.
0:52.3	That's it.
0:52.8	It's simple, and each episode is around 15 minutes
0:55.5	of your day. Every month, we read a different version of the four Gospels and in different
1:00.4	order, so you can scroll back and pick your favorite, or you can just hit play on today's
1:04.8	episode and listen along with the version we've chosen for that month. I say it often because
1:10.2	I believe it. You don't have to
1:11.7	be in the Gospels every day to be changed, but every day you're in the Gospels will change you.
1:17.2	Subscribe today to the Let's Read the Gospels podcast and let's spend a month together reading about
1:21.8	Jesus's life and ministry on earth, the friendships, the parables, the sacrifices, the meals,
1:29.6	and the miracles. I promise you,
