Welcome to Bethcast, where we explore how to change the world, one day at a time.
I’m Dr. Elizabeth Blakelock, and over the years I’ve found myself in many different roles — supporting community projects, reshaping how organizations work, even influencing national policies. No matter the scale, the goal has always been the same: meaningful change.
This episode is part of a personal project I’ve set myself: to spend a year reading books about how to change the world. I’m drawing insight, energy, and encouragement from writers who are as thoughtful about the how of change as they are about the why. In this episode, I’m reflecting on four books that have helped me think differently about how change happens — and how we stay motivated, connected, and effective along the way.
