In this episode of The Commons with Karla, I sit down for a compelling conversation with Stephanie Sherman, a remarkable woman whose journey embodies resilience, faith, and social activism. Stephanie's transition from nurturing her children to joining Awaken, a faith-driven organization dedicated to combating commercial sexual exploitation, sets the stage for an exploration of personal growth and spiritual evolution. Together, Stephanie and I explore profound topics, including race, parenting, gender dynamics, and the portrayal of women in the Bible. We also examine the fusion of faith and social justice, drawing insights from Stephanie's experiences and her impactful work with Awaken. Join us on this enlightening journey as we navigate the complexities of life, faith, and advocacy.
