31. Joel McKerrow - Creativity, Spirituality, and Seeking Justice

Joel McKerrow is an award winning writer, speaker, educator, artist, and one of Australia’s most successful, internationally touring, performance poets. He is the artist ambassador for Tearfund Australia, and a big part of The Justice Conference in Australia. In this conversation we talk about his creativity, how that connects with his spirituality which has changed over the years, how he got involved in issues of justice, and so much more.  We even listen to one of his poems, released earlier this year.  He is inspiring, thought provoking, and is a totally relatable, down to earth human being.   Check out Joel's creativity at joelmckerrow.com including his exhibition 'Human'.
