“We all tend to have that mentality that I’ll do just enough to think I’m ok on the Jesus list.” – Curt Campbell Interview

by Thomas on 02/04/2010

Curt Campbell works for the Men of Valor prison ministry as the Jericho Project Coordinator. He spends his days inside the prison overseeing the other staff members and working with the men themselves. When we did these interviews, I was extremely impressed with Curt’s insightfulness into the way we think about doing work for God and the way it can impact prisons in the US. More importantly, he talked about the idea of doing “just enough” versus really getting seriously involved (and thereby getting seriously inconvenienced) through serving others. It hit me between the eyes and I thought, ‘yep, I’m guilty of that.’ If you’d like to see the entire Seek Social Justice lesson that features Curt and the Men of Valor ministry, watch Working Toward Justice here.
