In episode 3 of season 3, Amy and Ryan continue to unpack the directives in Micah 6:8 to "do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God."

In episode 2 of season 3, Amy and Ryan dive deep into the biblical concept of justice.  How does God show us what justice look like? What is the role of empathy in doing justice? How do we do justice not just as individuals but as communities of faith?

All I Know Is This is back with a new season! 

In season 3, Amy will be joined by special guest Dr. Ryan Bonfiglio, the Assistant Professor in the Practice of Old Testament and Director of the Candler Foundry at the Candler School of Theology at Emory University. For four episodes they will unpack the directives in Micah 6:8 to "do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God." 

In episode 1, Amy and Ryan introduce this season by looking at the social, political, and theological moment in which Micah spoke these words and uncover some surprising similarities to today as we seek to get "back to basics" with this verse.

In our season 2 finale, Amy chats with Jamie Lynn Haskins, Chaplain for Spiritual Life at the University of Richmond. Jamie shares her approach to ministry and insights into how college students are having church. Amy and Jamie discuss this Sunday's scripture from Acts and what it tells us about showing up for people in crisis just how Paul and Silas showed up for the jailer who was about to take his life.

Amy chats with Dr. Brian Blount, President of Union Presbyterian Seminary where he is also a professor of New Testament. Dr. Blount shares some of the history of the seminary and offers his wisdom on this Sunday’s passage in Mark; which is quite fitting seeing as one of his areas of scholarship is the Gospel of Mark. 

Amy talks with Elizabeth Lynn, Founder of the Center for Civic Reflection and the Institute for Leadership and Service. Elizabeth is currently the Project Director of Shifting Ground, an initiative of Lake Institute. In this episode, Elizabeth shares her insights into the trends of philanthropic giving and how we can talk about giving in the church. Amy and Elizabeth share their reflections on the scripture passage of the Rich Young Ruler offering a perspective of Jesus toward the man that may be new to many of us.
