I Followed Jesus Out with Tamice Spencer-Helms


Listen Later

Tamice Spencer-Helms is a force and we are excited to share this interview with you as part of our Guest Series.

Tamice is a published author, speaker, and theologian based in Richmond, Virginia. After 16 years of full-time ministry, she founded Sub: Culture Incorporated, a nonprofit that provides holistic support and crisis relief for Black College Students. Over the years, Tamice has been a change-maker and pioneer for young people in her community. We talk with her about her book, “Faith Unleavened: The Wilderness Between Trayvon Martin & George Floyd”, and its important message for people of faith.

In this interview, we really dig into the ways in which white supremacy has infected Chrisitanity. Tamice offers some practical insight into how to unpack that from our own theologies. She also talks about the dichotomy of her queerness and faith, how reclaiming common sense has been a powerful way for her to follow Jesus while enriching her faith, and recognizing real freedom and love.
