Episode Five: 'My Work is My Witness'

Award-winning photojournalist and layperson Jack Corn (the descendant of Wesleyan preachers) shows us that discipleship is memory-making work that happens when witnesses see, share, and shed light on overlooked and forgotten people in need of grace. This kind of testimony sees, says, and sheds "daily light"[1] on life by bearing witness in a way that gathers others to see and help. Illuminating the unique needs and beauty of underserved people and places, we discover the reality that “there are better stories being told these days, some old, some new … [and] sometimes they are deeply unsettling, but they swing.”[2] Showing, telling, and gathering others to help is the “meta” (the New Testament word for “with”) work of grace and the gift of accompaniment, where love comes close as what’s needed most.
