Meet Nick Fiedler
Nick Fiedler is the cocreator and cohost of The Nick & Josh Podcast (with over 250,000 subscribers!). One day as he was packing up for a yearlong backpacking trip, Nick realized he wasn't sure if his childhood faith made sense in his adult life anymore. So he decided to put it on the metaphorical shelf for a bit, changed his FB status from “Christian” to “Hopeful Skeptic” and set out. In The Hopeful Skeptic: Revisiting Christianity from the Outside, Nick invites you to join him as he goes on a journey to figure out what parts of the faith he grew up with should be kept and what parts should be tossed. If you've ever struggled with reconciling the faith you grew up in with following Jesus in real time, this hopeful skeptic has created a space for you.
Check out the recent Nick and Josh Podcast where Josh interviews Nick about The Hopeful Skeptic.
Everyday Justice Factoid
"A report produced from the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture revealed that an 'estimated 284,000 children are working on cocoa farms in hazardous tasks such as using machetes and applying pesticides and insecticides without the necessary protective equipment.' The report also indicated strong evidence of human trafficking. . . . Much of the chocolate we consume has its roots in child labor, often forced or slave labor."—Everyday Justice, pp. 56-57
What you can do:
- Encourage elected officials to support laws that seek justice
- Use your purchasing power as a consumer to speak out by buying slave-free chocolate
- Write to chocolate companies to let them know you care about how they produce their chocolate
- Financially support or volunteer with organizations that seek justice for slaves (International Justice Mission is a great choice!)
Update from Kent Annan in Haiti
When Kent Annan (co-director of Haiti Partners and author of Following Jesus Through the Eye of the Needle) heard about the Haiti earthquake, all he could think about was whether his Haitian friends and coworkers were okay. Recently he was able to actually go to Haiti, and his heart was broken by the devastation facing his friends and the organization he heads. Yet he believes if Haitians are hopeful, then we have no right to give up hope. If you're interested in hearing more of his story, donating or finding out more about what Haiti Partners is doing to help, check out these links:
