FC Religious Life

This episode tackles a topic everyone is familiar with, in good ways and bad: Money. More specifically, this conversation examines wealth, community, and disparities, all forces that have shaped neighborhoods and lives (whether we acknowledge them or not). To learn more about this topic and better understand how to practice mindful spending and community-building, Producer Erica Irish interviewed The Rev. Jamesetta Ferguson, a senior pastor at St. Peter's United Church of Christ in Louisville, Kentucky. For the last decade, Ferguson has lead the Molo Village CDC to revitalize the city's predominately Black and historically under invested West End. Ferguson explores the connection between faith and finance, as well as the power of getting out of comfort zones to learn about and uplift communities most in need.
