Sara Groves on social justice

The Minneapolis native’s new release, Fireflies and Songs, was profoundly affected by the needs overseas for the poor & disenfranchised:

“The phrase ‘social justice’ can be loaded. To some people it is a political or a liberal conversation, but to me, it is a Kingdom conversation.

There are people behind these stories and statistics, and God’s heart for justice burns on their behalf.

I wanted to write songs that drew attention to the people like Elizabeth who know God deeply because of their suffering. There is a commonality in all of these friends, and that is the perseverance of hope.”
