## Resource

In our conversation with Fr. Joash Thomas, we explore how empire, certainty, and control have quietly shaped Western Christianity, and what it might look like to recover a more liberating, embodied faith. Drawing from his own journey and his book The Justice of Jesus, Joash invites ministry leaders to wrestle with justice, decolonization, and the cost of courage. It’s a challenging conversation that calls us all to a fuller vision of the gospel.
