  • Peanut Butter and ...

    Metamorphosis is the podcast of Trinity United Methodist Church in Piedmont, Missouri, where we share the unchanging love of Jesus to change people’s lives.

    We have nonconscious associations among certain things. This is called "implicit bias," and it can shape how we view, perceive, and treat people of other races, ethnicities, and backgrounds. Implicit bias is just one of several terms that the host of Metamorphosis, Eric, describes in this episode, the first in a short series about systemic racism and how Christians ought to respond to it.
