In the last episode, we explored what happens when Christians become fed up with consuming far more than they need. In today’s episode, Jesse Eubanks and Anna Tran reflect on all the things they couldn’t say about consumerism – including the misuse of fair trade by corporations, how minimalism isn’t the Gospel, and about following Jesus in a Consumer Christian economy. Finally, Anna talks with a local nonprofit helping refugee women learn new skills to make a fair wage in the U.S. marketplace.
