What the Gospel has to Say About Justice

Justice and righteousness are about a radical, selfless way of life.

Justice is a big topic weighing heavy on many hearts and minds these days. How do we, as people of faith, work through these issues? How can we help our kids come to terms with what they are hearing and seeing, and perhaps even experiencing?

Here are a few resources to get you started: videos, book recommendations and a beautiful prayer to say over the children in your life and minstry.
