Summary

"If we as a world ever got even a hint of the incredible love with which God loves us, we would be living in such a different world than we do now." These are the wise words of Mpho Andrea Tutu van Furth, Tami Simon's guest in this deeply moving podcast. Give a listen to this inspiring conversation with the daughter of the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu and coauthor of the online course Unstoppable Joy.

Tami and Mpho explore deep faith and finding one's path to God; the human tendency to act in ways that are counter to love; shifting from unworthiness to unconditional love; having a faith journey and "forging your own way up the mountain"; carrying forth the legacy of Desmond Tutu for a more just and inclusive world; the transformative teaching, "When in doubt, choose love"; real courage; accessing the source of unstoppable joy; disagreeing without being disagreeable; the practice of "disappearing into prayer"; and more.
