Ep 142: Roger Butts ~ Humility, Grace & Allyship

Truth & Transcendence

Discover the quiet strength that humility can bring to our lives and communities as we sit down with Roger Butts, a Unitarian Universalist minister and revered author. Imagine a world where humility serves as a bridge to justice and compassion - a concept that Roger masterfully weaves through tales of his own transformation from political activist to hospital chaplain. His narrative invites us on a journey to understand the true nature of humility and how it has become the bedrock of his efforts to foster inclusive societies and support personal growth.
Join us as we confront the delicate balance between advocacy and allyship, with personal anecdotes that shine a light on the pitfalls of heroism in social justice work. Discussions around 'kenosis' reveal the profound impact of stepping aside, allowing the stories of those directly affected to take center stage. Through this practice, we not only become better allies but also discover the deeper meaning of our roles within the collective narrative - an awakening to the idea of elevating rather than dominating within the sphere of activism.
This episode culminates with a moving blessing from Roger, a message offering solace and the possibility of renewal. As we reflect on the grace that threads through the mundane and the courage that blooms from regeneration, this heartfelt exchange leaves a lasting impression. We delve into the depths of everyday experiences, recognising the companionship of faith and the embracing arms of love ever-present in our lives. Let this conversation inspire you and renew your appreciation for the power of gentleness and the sanctity of stillness in our bustling existence.
