Description: President and General Minister of The Disciples of Christ in Canada and the US, Rev. Teresa Hord Owens, joined Jesse Jr to dive into the role of the faith community in stepping up to the challenges of “being” who, and what they say they are. In the second hour, Rev. Yvonne Gilmore, joined the conversation to discuss Owen’s new book, “Staying at the Table” - scheduled for release on July 12th, which serves as a push for all believers to shun the hypocrisy that critics may assign to the church in exchange for a “unity” born from love - a vision to talk, to serve, to work together - to fight for the cause of Jesus. In a blunt call to “become a catalyst for change” Owens authors a vision for faith, hope and change amidst our impending chaos…where everyone is invited, and welcome to “stay at the table.”
