We are living in a time when multiple crises – ecological, political, technological, economic, and spiritual – are converging and reinforcing one another. Many are calling this a “polycrisis,” a season when everything that can be shaken is, in fact, being shaken. JustFaith Ministries Executive Director, Dr. Lewis Brogdon, explores what this moment reveals about our world, our institutions, and ourselves, and what it means to practice justice and Christian witness amid instability, polarization, and profound change. He argues that this is not only a time of danger, but also a time of moral clarity, new opportunities, and hope, a moment that calls for deep formation, courageous truth-telling, and communities resilient enough to stand without illusion and act without fear.
