Reimagining the Good Life with Amy Julia Becker

Deconstruction and Rebuilding with Yolanda Pierce


Listen Later

In an environment of deconstruction, how do we identify what needs to be torn down? And in the midst of the rubble, what are we rebuilding? Dr. Yolanda Pierce, author of In My Grandmother’s House, joins Amy Julia Becker for a conversation about:

  • grandmother theology
  • deconstructing Christian faith
  • Black Jesus and unlearning racial hierarchies
  • hope that something true and good and beautiful can be renewed and rebuilt within the church and within our world
