Join Seth in this riveting final episode of The Good World for 2024! Seth reflects on taking a break to focus on seminary studies, discusses the wonders of Sacramento's citrus season, and shares heartfelt insights into how society often withholds essential resources, not just from fruit trees but from people as well. Through personal stories and thoughtful metaphors, Seth explores how we can invest in each other to build a better, more compassionate world. A must-watch to get inspired for 2025!
