Ep. 119 – Jalen Seawright of Common Hymnal on Justice, Limits, & Jesus’ Kingdom

Noah talks with Jalen Seawright on what justice is, why it’s a part of the biblical path of following Jesus, as well as how to find balance with our justice efforts, our own limits, and the ability to enjoy life. Much is discussed of Jesus’ kingdom in contrast with the human kingdoms of today, and how we are always trying to get Jesus to fit into our human kingdoms like Christian Nationalism. 

Jalen Seawright is a pastor, community activist, and justice advocate based in Metro Detroit, where he lives with his wife, Keyonna, and their three daughters—Karington, Kaidence, and Kyelinn. An accomplished musician, Jalen has faithfully served churches across the country as a worship leader, music director, and preacher. He continues to travel nationally, equipping organizations to leverage the arts in advancing justice. He is also a songwriter and contributor within the Common Hymnal ecosystem. Above all, Jalen is devoted to his family and committed to being the best Black father and proud “girl dad” he can be.
