July 10, 2022 Anthony Russo: The Bible is Funny
“It’s like if The Chosen was done by one guy who is not prepared” is the way Anthony Russo explains his project, The Bible is Funny. A lot of people use scripture to manipulate or shame but Anthony is using it to provide a safe space where people can interact with it in a new way. This conversation will make you laugh and remind you that Christianity doesn’t have to be quite so serious.

Dr. Michelle Ami Reyes knows that parents need help having Biblical conversations about race with our children regardless of their age. In her book, The Race Wise family: 10 Postures to Becoming Households of Healing and Hope, she invites black, brown and white parents to journey together as we learn how to move from what not to do or say toward a more kingdom minded - and even joy filled conversation.
