| 3/25/26 | ![]() 177. Compassion & CoMissioned | It's a big world with billions of people and millions of problems, so what does it take to pick your part, and get on with doing what Jesus has placed in front of you to do about it? Malachi & Haggai have a lot to say about this. | 17m 18s | ||||||

Compassion & Justice | This week on The Shape of the Circle, Cami and Brian sit down with Troy Cotton to move past the Sunday school answers and get into the "26-part formula" of systemic reality. Using the prophet Amos as a guide, the team wrestles with the gap between righteousness (equity) and justice (the action required to restore it).
