Whew, Chhiiillleee! Dr. A is going there in an unfiltered
episode that’s bringing the intersectionality of racism, diversity
and the church into the light.
In this gut-wrenching episode, Dr. Anita Phillips contends with
racial trauma in the church as a form of betrayal. A brave guest
reveals the emotional and spiritual wounds she suffered from
membership in a racially toxic faith community, and Pastor David
Swanson, founding pastor of New Community Covenant Church and
author of "Rediscipling the White Church", stops by to model
safety, clarify the need for change, and speak the unfiltered truth
about moving from cheap diversity to true solidarity.
“Honoring, prioritizing and centering the lived realities of people
of color within the church is for everybody’s flourishing. That’s
how good God is!” -Pastor David Swanson
