In the span of this podcast, Dr. White-Hodge dropped about two-dozen references to authors, movies, musicians, theologians, historical data, and current political realities that tie together how and where we see God in black culture. We explore how Tupac is a theological prophet, current political landscapes reveal our heart toward the Gospel, and where there is hope moving forward. Dan wraps by giving white folks specific ways we can be allies for people of color. As a theologian, professor, hip hop culture expert, and provocateur, Dan doesn’t disappoint for one minute in this episode.
