I haven't talked a lot about my religious foundations, which come straight out of the American Colonial period, because... well, it's complicated, right? So grateful to Nina Jonson for joining me to talk about Christianity in 2022 and how the church reconciles its role in racism, xenophobia, and colonialism with "loving everyone."

Nina Jonson is the Director of Children and Youth Ministry at Plymouth Congregational Church in Minneapolis, the church her family has attended for generations. There is little she loves more than supporting children and young people, and all her employment history—from bee educator at an apple orchard, to traveling sex ed teacher for a clinic—has focused on empowering youth. She is currently also the president of the middle school PTO, a Girl Scout troop leader, and a very part-time bakery waitress. In her spare time she loves doing anything with her family, dancing, and being in community theater.

White backlash against Racial equity work has gotten BIG. I refuse to believe that all of us white people think it's acceptable. Still, our silence speaks volumes. I believe we avoid talking about it because it's so BIG, that we don't know how to counteract it, so big it's swinging elections and fueling book banning. And it's so TINY, in acts of microaggression that happen in a moment but carry deep significance. How do we get all that nuance right? Dana Smith, my cousin by marriage, has been kind enough help me understand her perspective as a Black Minnesotan. Maya Angelou told us to "Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better." I believe one path forward to doing better has to be sharing microstories, little moments that help us see what we didn't see before. I'm grateful to Dana for sharing hers.
