Healing Our Broken Humanity: An Interview with Dr. Grace Ji-Sun Kim

"We cannot do anything without the Spirit...restoring justice, reconciliation, lamenting. We really need the Spirit in our lives to help accomplish all this."

Listen in as WAP associate Caroline Triscik interviews Dr. Grace Ji-Sun Kim, co-author of Healing Our Broken Humanity (IVP). In this conversation Dr. Kim offers her perspective on how the Church can be renewed through both individual and communal spiritual practices. Dr. Kim invites us to consider a variety of practices, including lament, peacemaking, and restoring justice, as well as the role of the Holy Spirit in revitalizing the Church.

You can listen on iTunes or through WAP's podbean page. We hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did.
