In this second episode of our brilliant collaboration with Proximity, Abi Thomas explores how to keep going for the long-haul when you are living and working for justice in urban estates and beyond. Wherever it is you’re trying to make a difference, you'll find practical wisdom for keeping your activism centred on Jesus and preventing burnout and we'll hear from four incredible guests who share their experiences of finding strength in challenging circumstances.
And Abi isn’t just talking about s lowing down—she’s giving you space to actually do it. You'll find space to rest and reflect with words from the Bible and beautiful music from Emma Grant.
Trigger Warning: This episode touches on some real-life struggles, including burnout and mental health, with mentions of suicide. If that’s not what you need today, we have lots of other episodes to inspire you instead.
