What is Moral Injury?
What makes love possible and sustainable when we face shattering loss, horror, betrayal, and brokenness? In this episode, we begin our exploration into moral injury as rooted in human goodness. Experts in religion and philosophy join hosts Rita and Susan to consider what makes moral injury so crucial for today’s spiritual leaders to understand and what we can learn about the repair of souls on the journey through the worst challenges we face in life.
