In this episode of The Friary, Brother Jay welcomes D. T. Bryant, priest at St. Mary of Bethany Parish, spiritual director at The Center for Hope and Healing in Nashville, and co-founder of the Black Mental Health Counselor Reparations Foundation. He is also the author of Unless a Seed Falls to the Ground: Welcoming the Death of the Whiteness Gospel.

Together they explore Danny’s upbringing, the experiences that shaped his faith, and the journey that led him to confront what he calls the “whiteness gospel.” With honesty and hope, Danny shares why certain patterns must die for the church to be reborn into Christ’s true life, and how the image of a seed falling into the ground speaks to both death and resurrection. This is a conversation about faith, justice, and healing that invites us all into deeper transformation.
