| 0:00.0 | Welcome once again to the Conversations That Matter podcast. I'm your host, John Harris. |
| 0:20.5 | And we have an interesting |
| 0:21.5 | discussion for you today. I think a helpful discussion and a necessary discussion for the times in which |
| 0:28.9 | we live. A little bit about where I'm coming from in this podcast. My work has been primarily on |
| 0:36.0 | social justice. And in the book, social justice |
| 0:38.5 | goes to church, I found that the founding fathers of the movement that we've been encountering |

| 1:44.6 | the ideological way their parents viewed the world. And I think this is an important first thing |

| 2:03.5 | we all live in, but it is unique in the history of the world where we are in a fractured time. |
