[162] Championing Justice and Hope with Ingrid McIntyre
What does it mean to live out faith in real, tangible ways? In this moving episode, Compass host Ryan Dunn sits down with Rev. Ingrid McIntyre—a United Methodist pastor and seasoned community organizer based in Nashville, Tennessee—to explore activism, justice, and the spiritual fuel that sustains hope in challenging times.
Ingrid shares her journey from childhood experiences in Appalachia to her current work at the intersection of faith, activism, and grassroots organizing. Together, Ryan and Ingrid unpack how embodying the values of Jesus leads naturally to standing up for housing justice, inclusion, and the dignity of the marginalized. They discuss the struggles and setbacks spiritual seekers feel when progress seems to stall, and how faith communities can be centers of real change, not just Sunday gatherings.
Discover how a church’s front yard was transformed into vital housing for those in need, learn the power of nonpartisan advocacy built on enduring values, and find inspiration in the everyday acts of courage that keep Ingrid—and countless others—moving forward, even when the work feels heavy.
🌱 Whether you’re curious about social justice, longing for spiritual encouragement, or just seeking stories of everyday hope, this episode offers wisdom and grounding for your journey.
