Is social justice what shapes us or is it the result of our formation? The answer is both! Learn more about how these two work together to help us embody the love of Christ internally and externally in this interview with Dr. Marlena Graves.

Marlena Graves is the Assistant Professor of Spiritual Formation at Northeastern Seminary on the campus of Roberts Wesleyan University in Rochester, NY. She has written five books, two of which were award-winning, and over two hundred articles found in a variety of venues like Christianity Today, Relevant, Sojourners, the Christian Century and more. In addition, she has had pastoral positions at several churches, including a church plant. And she has worked for many non-profits in solidarity with the poor, migrant farm workers, immigrants from South America, and local community members and leaders who sought to address police brutality in the Toledo, Ohio, area and lead paint poisoning of children. Marlena has been on the board of several organizations including Evangelicals 4 Justice and The Red Bud Writers Guild. She is married to her husband Shawn, a philosophy professor, and has three wonderful, beautiful, brilliant, and growing girls. She wants people to know God delights in them. She has been dubbed, and sees herself as, a missionary to the American Church. She loves to laugh, be out in nature, and be with family and friends and good folk. She hopes to leave a little bit of shalom in her wake.

As we head into a politically charged season in 2024, engaging online can get emotional and exhausting.

In my 4 years building a public platform, I've devised four guidelines that shape how I try to interact with those who disagree with me on social media.

I hope these help you to create your own and keep yourself healthy and whole as we head into the last half of the year.
