Inspired
Inspired is the nation's leading public radio show about faith, ethics and spirituality. Each week we offer you analyses of the big headlines alongside lesser-told stories – those of Orthodox Jewish artists and African-American atheists, Muslim feminists and spiritual seekers. Through these stories, a rough sketch of our country’s religious landscape begins to emerge. It’s a marketplace of beliefs and ideas too complex for sound bites, and too important to ignore.
This week we listen to the fourth episode of A Prayer for Salmon, and talk with a religion reporter for The Tennessean about the shifting faith and political alliances in the aftermath of the Covenant School shooting.
A Prayer for Salmon – “It’s Legal”
We continue The Spiritual Edge’s series. In episode four, an elder remembers indigenous life back before Shasta Dam was built. The legality of the proposal to raise Shasta Dam is considered. Meanwhile, Chief Caleen Sisk considers a new strategy to fight back: turning an adversary — the Westlands Water District — into an ally.

Many faith leaders are calling for gun reform – including leaders within conservative Christian faith traditions, and Governor Lee is listening.
