About this listen

 The Common Room is a comfortable, shared space for interacting around the common human experiences we wrestle with. Through a progressive, spiritual lens, we explore the social issues and topics affecting our city and world today. This is a space where all are invited to learn, question, reflect and create. Introverts, extroverts, artists, intellectuals, nerds and explorers will find ways to engage and connect that are generative; bringing common hope into what can feel at times like a lonely and anxious world.All rights reserved Christianity Social Sciences Spirituality

    Paul Rock, Jimmy Itczak and Sam Murphy discuss the question posed by Desmond Tutu: do we focus on pulling drowning people out of the water or go upstream to learn why there's so much water in the first place? Addressing the needs of people while discussing systemic issues is a tension followers of Christ find themselves in regularly. What principles do we consider in these scenarios?
