Mary Queen and BUILD: Faith in Action for Justice in Our City

Kabby Akers, Father Miguel, and Greg Williams share their experiences with BUILD (Building a United Interfaith Lexington through Direct Action).

The conversation explores BUILD's intentionally diverse network of congregations, their focus on listening to community needs—especially around elder care, housing, and transportation—and their process of organizing to find real solutions through actions like the annual Nehemiah Action event. The guests emphasize that working for justice is a core part of Christian faith and share impactful stories of how BUILD has driven positive changes, such as the creation of affordable housing and mental health programs. Listeners are encouraged to participate in upcoming events and become part of this community-driven mission for justice.
