We close our series on How to Practice Social Justice This
Election Season with a two-part episode called "Letting the Dust
Settle".
We now know the outcome of the election. For many folks,
there's an enormous amount of fear, anxiety, and dread about the
behavior and decisions of the incoming administration. There's also
a tendency, especially on social media, to respond to every
negative step that the Trump administration makes.
In these two episodes, we distinguish between a reactive sense
of urgency and a grounded sense of urgency.
And, the most important characteristic of a grounded sense of
urgency is taking the space that you need to grieve in a way that's
most fitting for you.
In this episode, Julia and Jeremiah talk about:
Our experiences with grief
this month in our own lives, and the lives of our
clients.
The intersection of grief
and the moral incongruence of Evangelical Christians.
Fear as a key
emotion.
Family
estrangement.
Pacing
yourself.
