Sowing the Seeds of Justice: A JustFaith Storytelling Gathering

At the heart of every movement for justice are the stories that shape us. At the Sow the Seeds: JustFaith Storytelling Gathering, held in a warm and welcoming space filled with friends and changemakers, participants shared powerful reflections on how the JustFaith program has transformed their lives—and their approach to justice, compassion, and faith.

The event highlighted the lasting impact of JustFaith small groups, which guide participants through deep conversations about social justice, spiritual growth, and community responsibility. Through prayerful dialogue, study, and shared experience, JustFaith empowers individuals to take faithful action in the world.

Frank moved the room when he said, “I consider myself an advocate because of JustFaith.” His journey from awareness to action is a testament to the program’s power to nurture both the heart and the will to serve.

Patrice captured the spirit of the gathering beautifully: “JustFaith is deeply rooted in loving your neighbor. ”This core teaching came through in every story—reminding us that justice begins with presence, listening, and solidarity.

Sally spoke of how JustFaith gave her “a feeling of beloved community.” That sense of belonging and shared purpose is what draws people to JustFaith—and keeps them connected long after the sessions end.

As we continue sowing the seeds of justice, gatherings like this remind us that small groups can grow big change. Through community, courage, and compassion, JustFaith participants are building a more loving and equitable world—one step, one story, one seed at a time.
