Kate Bowler sits with Bryan Stevenson, founder of the Equal Justice Initiative, reflecting on his call to become a stonecatcher—someone willing to step into harm’s way so others don’t have to.
They talk about what it means to absorb the blows that would otherwise land on the most vulnerable, and how love sometimes looks like standing still, staying close, and refusing to let cruelty have the last word.
It’s a quiet, bracing reminder that justice isn’t abstract—it’s practiced with bodies, courage, and a willingness to be bruised for the sake of someone else.
