CJ Quartlbaum is a self-titled "pastor adjacent" speaker, writer and Brooklyn resident. CJ was a spoken word artist in churches around the country but truly realized Jesus as his savior at 22. His newest endeavor is Live & Labor, where he makes theology and life with God simple.

We talked about CJ's life before and after becoming a Christian, telling stories about racial justice that haven't been told, his experience in the NY financial business as a black man, inner-city missions, and why a multi-ethnic church must be multi-cultural, not only having different looking people.

Resources from CJ & mentioned:

Book: Divided by Faith: Evangelical Religion and the Problem of Race in America

This is an essential conversation about racial reconciliation and our role as Christian leaders in the church. I hope this will be the first of many conversations.

Still kicking it (not) on the upper couch 800 miles away! I met Zac at our summer camp Kanakuk last summer. He's a legendary programs guy (aka chief fun-haver), fellow podcaster and great leader. I learned a ton about leadership and the things he's doing to lead himself in a manner worthy of the gospel today. This one's really important for those of us feeling unmotivated during this crazy time!

Catch Zac - @zacfunderburk and his podcast next generation leader!
