Send us Fan MailIn Season 3 of the underview, we begin where every honest conversation about faith has to begin with a starting point. Monica Kumar joins as co-host for "the faith of Northwest Arkansas," and this episode is the Monica's story, the work of naming who we are, what we carry, and what we are afraid of as we step into a season-long exploration of how faith shapes place and belonging across the Arkansas Ozarks.Monica is the founder of Bridging Us, Interim Executive Director of Aiding Survivors of Human Trafficking & Child Abuse, and a former Strategic Consultant with Engage NWA. Born in London to immigrant parents from India and Uganda, she came to Northwest Arkansas twelve years ago and has spent the years since asking how community supports human rights and how a place becomes home. This conversation reaches into Hindu upbringing, evangelical Christian formation, brave versus safe spaces, the burden of the normative experience, and the common hope two very different people can carry together into a season of listening.https://www.theunderview.com/the-faith-of-northwest-arkansas-with-monica-kumarMusic courtesy of https://brianhirschy.com/About the underview:The underview is an exploration of the development of our Communal Theology of Place viewed through the medium of bikes, land, and people to discover community wholeness.Website: ⁠⁠theunderview.com⁠⁠Follow us on Instagram: ⁠⁠@underviewtheHost: @mikeruschSend in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theunderview/message
