Let's Talk Faith and Justice

Rabbi Matthew Ponak is a local, independent Rabbi who teaches Jewish mysticism and works as a religious consultant. Matthew, Boston, and Lyndon talk with vulnerability and a willingness to sit in discomfort about different views on zionism and what is going on the Holy Land. They also discuss local and national antisemitism, critique of government, and looking beyond our echo chambers.

What is Let's Talk Faith and Justice?

Let's Talk Faith and Justice is a podcast hosted by Boston Laferté, a current JD/JID and MDiv student, and Lyndon Sayers, co-pastor of Lutheran Church of the Cross in Victoria and a spiritual care provider with UVic Multifaith.

The podcast explores topics of faith through the lens of justice, and topics of justice through the lens of faith. Both the hosts and guests bring their own unique life experiences and faith journeys to explore how the sometimes-conflicting worlds of faith and justice can intersect in deep and life-giving ways.

It is with deep respect and gratitude that Let's Talk Faith and Justice is recorded and produced on unceded lək̓ʷəŋən territories that include Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations.
