Using <em>A Just Passion: A Six-Week Lenten Journey, <\/em>and the lectionary, we will look at various aspects of justice, its importance to God and why the modern church has often regrettably failed to live out God\u2019s call to \u201cdo justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In week two, Ruth and Transforming Center team member Tina Harris sit down with Terry Wildman, translator of the <em>First Nations Version <\/em>of the New Testament. The three discuss the tragic impact colonialism has had on indigenous people, the part Christianity has played in it and how he sees the First Nations Version translation as an act of justice. Terry also reads his translation of the lectionary reading in his own voice. This conversation is incredibly powerful and insightful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lectionary scripture for this week:<br \/>\n<\/strong>Genesis 12:1-4a<br \/>\nPsalm 121<br \/>\nRomans 4:1-5, 13-17<br \/>\nJohn 3:1-10 or Matthew 17:1-9<\/p>\n<hr style=\"clear: both;\" \/>\n<p><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/strengthening-soul-your-leadership-ruth-haley-barton\/id1214483830\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SUBSCRIBE ON APPLE PODCASTS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can also access podcast on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stitcher.com\/podcast\/ruth-haley-barton\/strengthening-the-soul-of-your-leadership?refid=stpr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stitcher<\/a>\u00a0and <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/41tz8kmZTi7wyYakvWUKZz\">Spotify<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; min-width: min(100%, 430px);\" title=\"Season 19: Lent Week 2 | Colonialism and Christianity: Bible Translation as a Work of Justice\" src=\"https:\/\/www.podbean.com\/player-v2\/?i=kfeiv-13a88b7-pb&amp;from=pb6admin&amp;share=1&amp;download=1&amp;rtl=0&amp;fonts=Arial&amp;skin=1&amp;font-color=auto&amp;logo_link=episode_page&amp;btn-skin=7\" width=\"100%\" height=\"150\" scrolling=\"no\" data-name=\"pb-iframe-player\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"button outline\" href=\"https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/strengthening-the-soul-of-your-leadership-podcast\/season-nineteen\/\">Listen to other episodes from Season 19<\/a> <a class=\"button-secondary outline\" href=\"https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/strengthening-the-soul-of-your-leadership-podcast\/\">Access past podcast seasons<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-16964\" src=\"https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Terry-150x150.jpeg\" alt=\"Terry M.
