Fishing Deeper Book Review

In this podcast, Rev. Dr. Sidney S. Williams Jr. expands on the themes from his upcoming book, Fishing Deeper: A Theology of Place, set to be released in March. He urges seasoned faith leaders to rethink ministry within their communities, discussing a four-pillar approach to philanthropy—providing immediate aid, building capacity, ensuring access to resources, and fostering community ownership. Rev. Dr. Williams advocates for the adaptive reuse of church spaces as community hubs and emphasizes the importance of deep listening, building partnerships, and embracing a theology of place to create lasting, transformative impact. He also explores the role of philanthropy and impact investing in advancing economic mobility and addressing historical injustices and systemic inequities.
