Profane Faith

Yup, we go in this week on racial reconciliation theologies. To back me up, I brought with me Daniel Camacho and together we team up on critically interrogating one of the most popular theological constructs around. This conversation is needed and before you go and get all sentimental on me, take a listen. Check out the arguments and listen to the break down. We don't throw the baby out with any dish water. But, we do examine a construct that we both believe is holding a lot of us, POC, back. So, as always, check it out!

We have overlooked the importance of what those labeled villains in the Bible can teach us. This week JR is back! He breaks down his new book's main premise, to explore the nuances of the bad folks throughout the Christian Bible. This is another solid theological episode, so, get your notebooks out, JR takes us on an overview of the missed aspects of those devilish characters.

EXPLICIT What happens when you get a missionary with some sarcasm, tattoos, lives in California, and could hold her own in an MMA ring...well, you get Jamie Wright. Jamie and I sit down to talk that wonderful machine called the mission field; where race, gender, money, colonialism, more money, and socio-economics all come to play themselves out. Jamie's experience as a missionary exposed her to a lot, and, now she's not only talking about it, she even wrote a book about it. This episode gon' be on as we go in on missiological components that need much changing. Take a listen!

Activism is a long, difficult, and often times lonely road. However, this week on Profane Faith, we have two folks who have been working together for the betterment of the community. Andre Johnson and Earle Fisher are two of Memphis' good ones. Working hard to bring down a racist monument, this conversation gets in on race, religion, Whiteness, and the complexity of racist monuments. This is a conversation long overdue but it is a great victory in an era where we're not seeing many wins. Go on click that link and take a listen.

Well, I figured it was about time we did a review on the film Black Panther. So, I brought my good friend Tamisha Tyler, soon to be Dr Tyler, and we go in. We talk religion, race, Killmonger, and how violence is shaped within the film. After the week a lot of us have had as POC we needed a trip to Wakanda and a non colonized embracement of Blackness. So, take a listen, Tamisha got them theology of culture skills!

This was a tough week. The colonizers getting on my last nerve. That's why I had to bring my good friend and brilliant mind, Kenji Kuramitsu. We're talking race, Christianity, de-colonizing minds, and what it means to be a conscious socially engaged POC in this here era. Kenji has an amazing story and one that is unique in that he is eager to push well beyond the borders of the colonized state of space. Kenji's uncanny way of placing theology and mysticism makes him a contemporary cultural theologian...or at least I think so! Join in, this week is good.
