Episode 19: Faith, Activism, and Courage with Dr. Vivian Jenkins-Nelsen
Join Katie Langston as she interviews Dr. Vivian Jenkins-Nelsen, a social worker, scholar, and anti-racism activist from Minneapolis who was awarded the Presidential Volunteer Service Award from Barack Obama. Vivian shares her remarkable faith journey: growing up as the daughter of the only Black Lutheran pastor for miles and miles around, becoming deeply involved in the Civil Rights Movement with Dr. King, doubting her Christian faith, and eventually claiming a place in a faith tradition that did not always welcome her with open arms. This is a compelling story of faith in action, one that you will not want to miss.
