Live from the podcast stage at the Q Christian Fellowship conference in Portland, OR. Cythina and Laura Beth are joined by Haley Warner and Bridget Black to kick off a new season of Going Nowhere. We took some time to wrap up our conversation about Peace as a Path of Resistance and introduced the new topic of Joy as resistance (or in Cynthia's case, a resistance to Joy!)

Takeaways

• Peace and joy are interdependently connected and are found within a community.
