Episode 2.4 – Robin Meyers: The Pástor Résistance

Matt and Lucas are joined by Robin Meyers, American pastor of 30 years, peace activist, social justice professor and author of seven books. He helped us adopt the lens of resistance and enabled us to consider a faith that stands up to, and stands against if necessary, the systems and structures that deny life and human flourishing.

You can (and should!) find Robin’s community Mayflower Congregational Church at http://www.mayflowerucc.org including past sermons. His books include The Underground Church: Reclaiming the Subversive Way of Jesus, Saving Jesus from the Church: How to stop worship Christ and start following Jesus and his most recent; Spiritual Defiance: Building a Beloved Community of Resistance. Lucas and Matt highly recommend these!
