Marlena Graves talks with us about the upside-down way of the kingdom of God (the way up is the way down, you save your life by losing your life, you become yourself by forgetting yourself), and how this helps us connect spiritual formation to justice.
Marlena is a writer, deep thinker, and speaker who is passionate about the eternal implications of our life in God. She is a lover of beauty – especially the beauty of her family, others, and creation. Marlena is a justice seeker—trying to overcome evil with good. Marlena deeply believes that spiritual formation and justice should never be separated.
