Messy Jesus Business Podcast || Michael Okinczyc-Cruz: Where Civic Life and Mystical Life Meet

“Robust commitment to civic life should be fed by a robust spiritual life, a mystical life.”

In Season 2, Episode 5 of Messy Jesus Business podcast, Sister Julia Walsh and Michael Okinczyc-Cruz discuss how his upbringing and experience as a person of Polish and Mexican ancestry helped bring him to his ministry as co-founder and Executive Director of the Coalition for Spiritual and Public Leadership, which helps people enrich their spiritual lives and connect that to their public lives, and why that’s essential for radical discipleship. He remembers graduating from college during the Great Recession and seeking support when making ends meet was difficult.
