Is answered in the daily work of showing up, being challenged, getting it wrong, being corrected, and showing up again.\" - Ken Woodward\n\nIn this solo episode, Ken Woodward explores one of humanity's oldest and most challenging questions: \"Am I my brother's keeper?\" Born from Cain's evasion after murdering Abel, this question continues to shape how we answer fundamental issues about immigration, homelessness, healthcare, and who deserves our care.\n\nDrawing from his 101-week walk through every street and alley in Washington, DC, Ken reflects on how he spent 50 years answering \"no\" to this question while convincing himself he was answering \"yes.\" He shares powerful conversations with Raymond Coates about the Sugar House in Charleston, encounters with a woman who demanded accountability, and the devastating costs of both saying yes and saying no.\n\nThis episode challenges listeners to examine their own complicity, confront inherited assumptions, and honestly assess who they've decided doesn't count as \"brother.\" Ken offers four concrete takeaways to help transform this ancient question from theological abstraction into daily practice.\n\nThis Curated Questions episode can be found on all major platforms and at CuratedQuestions.com.\n\nKeep questioning!"}
