0:00.0	Welcome to the Commian podcast. My name is Jeff Krasnow. For this Christmas Eve, I am resurrecting an interview from 2018 with Pastor Ron Buford, who shepherds the Congregational Church of Sunnyvale here in California.
0:25.8	So we know that Jesus urged us to love thy neighbor and that he performed miracles on behalf of the meek
0:33.8	and the lame. We know that by breaking bread with lepers, prostitutes, tax collectors,
0:40.0	sinners, and the ill, he bucked societal norms. But is it fair to think of Jesus as a political
0:48.2	activist? What are the different messages within the Bible regarding civil disobedience? Is a human's primary
0:56.0	loyalty to the state or to one's deeply held moral and spiritual convictions? These are the topics
1:05.1	I explore with Pastor Ron in a conversation that is really just as relevant today as it was when it was first recorded
1:12.7	six years ago. And if this inspires you to stand up and advocate for positive change in your
1:18.8	community, well, we have several courses in commune membership to help you, including programs
1:24.5	on community organizing, political engagement, and environmental activism.
1:30.0	We can watch all of our courses for free with a 14-day trial of commune membership.
1:35.3	Just go to onecommun.com slash trial to sign up for free.
1:39.1	In total, commune membership includes more than 150 courses on Integrative Medicine, Nutrition, Spirituality,
1:45.7	yoga, meditation, breathwork, personal growth, relationships, mindful leadership, and so much more.
1:51.6	And you can access all of that at onecomcom slash trial.
1:55.4	That's onecom.com slash trial.
1:58.7	So get ready for my conversation with Pastor Ron Buford right after the
2:03.8	break. Hey, it's Jeff, and I'm aiming to take better care of my skin, which we should all be doing.
2:25.9	After all, it's our largest organ.
2:28.3	So for 10 minutes every day, I wear a face mask.
2:31.8	That's right, but not just any old face mask. I'm wearing the Bond Charge red light face mask. That's right, but not just annual face mask. I'm wearing the bond charge red light face mask. Now you've heard me talk about their infrared sauna blanket, which I love and I bring to all my retreats. A red light therapy really works. It penetrates deep into the skin to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, calm inflammation, and ease signs of aging.
2:56.1	Bon Charges red light face mask makes it so easy to take care of your skin.
