<![CDATA[Just Stories]]> https://juststoriespodcast.org/ Just Stories invites faith and justice into the same room.

Through honest and wide-ranging conversations, we bring lived religion and spirituality into contact with the justice system, its promises and its failures. We define justice broadly, as Cornel West put it, "justice is what love looks like in public," but most of our guests speak from the criminal justice system in particular: some working to humanize it, others who've felt its blunt end, whether formerly incarcerated or denied justice in other ways.

Our roots are in the Anabaptist Christian tradition, but guests of all backgrounds are welcome.
