Eliza Grizwold, Circle of Hope

In this episode we are joined by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and author, Eliza Griswold, author of the book, Circle of Hope: A Reckoning with Love, Power, and Justice in an American Church. In Circle of Hope Griswold explores how conflict around anti-LGBTQ inclusion, white supremacy and roots in the church growth movement eventually led the network of congregations to dissolve in January 2024. Eliza was invited to talk with us on Freedom Road to give us a window into the most consequential struggle within the church today. The struggle to love everyone. We’d love to hear your thoughts.
