The Role of Art in Spiritual Formation

Live Justly, Love, Mercy, Walk Humbly...

These are three instructions that we have received from our Lord about how to live, but what do they mean?  How can we identify our need to live this out, and what does it look like to do so?  Over the next few months, we will discuss what each of these means and how we can respond.

In the first installment of Coracle's "Justice, Mercy & Humility" Soundings Seminar Series, Kristy Wallace-Grant (Repentance Project Director) leads us in a discussion with Jim Emrich (Servant Leaders Associates). They dip into the lives of a diverse array of Christians who have embodied this vision of the Christian life over the years: Mary McLeod Bethune, Howard Thurman, Myles Horton, Rosa Parks, Clarence Jordan, and more.  We hope the lives and stories they share will spur you on to love and a deeper walk with God in the world!
