In a time of booming worship and deep injustice, Amos steps into the crowd and says, “God isn’t impressed.”
This episode explores the book of Amos and the prophet’s critique of a nation that sings songs while silencing the poor.

Kristen unpacks what God’s justice (mishpat) and righteousness (tzedakah) really mean, why systems matter as much as hearts, and how faith that never leaves the sanctuary can’t change the world.

Amos wasn’t condemning music or devotion; he was exposing a faith that sang louder than it served. Through this ancient text, Kristen explores how God’s anger is not rejection, but rather a fierce love that defends the vulnerable and restores what has been broken.

Together, we’ll explore:

• Why God rejected Israel’s festivals, songs, and offerings
• The real meaning of “Let justice roll down like waters”
• What the “city gate” meant then, and where that gate stands today
• How injustice hides in systems and why charity isn’t enough
• Why voting, integrity, and economics still belong in the conversation of faith

Because Amos doesn’t just call out hypocrisy, he calls us back to wholeness: a faith honest enough to sing and brave enough to act. You’ll walk away challenged, grounded, and ready to let your faith sound like justice.
