Ep. 11 | DeWayne Davis: Finite Disappointment and Infinite Hope

The summer of 2022 has not been an easy one for people in progressive spaces. We’ve seen the overturning of Roe vs Wade, multiple mass shootings, more instances of police killing of unarmed Black men, the congressional hearings on January 6, the war in Ukraine. . . all significant steps backward in terms of the struggles for peace and social justice. I sat down with Plymouth’s Lead Minister, DeWayne Davis, to talk through the question: given the immense challenges presented by this moment, how does one avoid sinking into cynicism, despair, and pessimism? Where is the enduring wisdom that can help us meet this moment? If you’re DeWayne, you find wisdom in our not-so-distant past. . . and on Netflix.
