What Grounds You?

For The Porch Light series, L. Joy invites listeners to “leave the light on for democracy, for justice, and for each other.” She opens this episode by asking a personal and political question - ”what grounds you?” She frames “grounding” as both a spiritual practice and a civic discipline: faith that lives in public, leadership rooted in integrity - not optics, and community spaces that heal, belong, and organize. She is joined at the front of the class by Dr. Cassandra Gould to discuss faith in the public square.
