Welcome to the conversation that matter

podcast. My name is John Harris. It is incredibly late in the day or early in the

morning, however you want to figure that out where I am. And as you can tell,

I'm in a different surrounding than I'm usually in I'm

at a hotel room I'm speaking at an engagement tomorrow and so I'm traveling and you know I'm

a little wired though so I thought you know I'll I'll give a little dress

rehearsal to some of the things that I wanted to share because I haven't shared them on my

podcast but I'm gonna be sharing them in a little speech tomorrow.

And I've been asked the question many times,

John, where did you find out how to think about social justice

the way you do?

What books did you read?

What resources? And the question behind that is, how can I bring discernment to bear on this issue?

And I haven't really fully answered that. This might be one of the more fuller answers that I have to give

but I my emphasis my thrust is going to be there's no silver bullet I'm going to

give you some pointers by sharing my story. It's going to be

kind of autobiographical. But you know I think if you're a common person I'm a big

fan of the layman. I'm a big fan of guys you know just middle class guys I think you can you can do this you can handle this

The word of God is sufficient and and I think it's helpful to know some basic knowledge and some other outside

fields but I'm just going to walk through my story a little bit and hopefully that encourages

you. So this is a bonus episode.

I'm shooting from the hip here a little bit.
