Rachel Cohen: I Used To Think Volunteering Was A Harmful Distraction (Pt 1)

What if the most radical thing you could do was just show up?

In this Shop Talk, Bill and Alex dive into Shane Claiborne's book The Irresistible Revolution - and the idea that changing the world has never required extraordinary people. Just ordinary ones who refuse to look away. They talk about what it really means to let your life answer the question, why the most important move you can make is toward broken places instead of away from them, and what it looks like when normal folks stop asking "why doesn't someone do something?" and start asking "what can I do?"

This one isn't a call to be louder or more impressive. It's a reminder that the life you're already living might be exactly the one the world needs.
