The best podcast I’ve ever co-hosted with Vahisha Hasan!!

The Best Podcast!

The Transform Network Podcast - A Progressive Christian Podcast

Tracy Howe

The Transform Network Podcast, A Progressive Christian Podcast, is hosted by Vahisha Hasan, founder and executive director of Movement in Faith, and Stephen Roach Knight, co-founder and board member of Transform Network. Songwriting is how Tracy Howe cultivates her own humanity as she passes through a world largely condemning and diminishing of the beauty, interconnections and vulnerability that come with being human. She writes, “I was not born into a socio-political location that caused me to struggle for justice. I was born both addicted and blind to the privilege and power that global exploitation, militarism and racism hold in place for a few. Thank God I had music. My early touring career brought me across the continental United States and many parts of Central and South America. The songs opened pathways of relationships and the relationships seeded new songs about the lived realities of people in many different places and the struggles for life and justice everywhere.  Now, 20 years after I started writing songs for public performance and community building, I feel some responsibility as an artist to document what I see happening, to demonstrate and declare the movements of liberation alive in the world. Songs born out of the contemporary movements for liberation in the world today can be the fruit of and seeds for justice and beauty now and in the generations to come.”  Things That Grow, Howe’s latest project, includes songs documenting the disturbing and destructive realities around us, from fracking to the New Jim Crow, to violence against the most vulnerable. The music also illuminates something deeper (and truer) about our living connections. Things That Grow ignites the soul with messages of strength, resistance, and human connection. This social gospel soul album recorded with an extremely talented set of Memphis rock musicians, celebrates humanity, beauty and resilience.
