Learning How to See with Brian McLaren

Seeing (and Dancing) in the Dark with Rev. Otis Moss III


Listen Later

How might your life change if you paused more often to unlearn what fear has taught you?

In this episode, hosts Brian McLaren and Carmen Acevedo Butcher are joined by Rev. Dr. Otis Moss III. Together, they explore what it means to live with vision in times of struggle—when the path is unclear, but the call to truth and love remains strong. Drawing from his book Dancing in the Darkness, Dr. Moss reflects on the experience of being Black and faithful in America, and how reclaiming the radical tradition of love—rooted in justice and courage—can liberate both the oppressed and the oppressor.
