The conversation begins with co-hosts’ varying views on white supremacy in progressive Christianity. From there the talk turns to progressive Christian purity codes, boundary training and other forms of white-centeredness. Co-hosts take an honest look at the average progressive white Christian’s struggle with following POC leaders though they say they want to. There is discussion on the evangelical and progressive Christian responses to the Black Lives Matter movement with speculation about the future.
Toward the end of the conversation, co-hosts wonder about the impact of white supremacy on white people’s souls. Does progressive Christianity have a framework for understanding a suffering soul? How do white progressive Christians #BreakUpWithWhiteJesus? Co-hosts offer some thoughts on ways to disrupt white supremacy in progressive Christian circles. Listeners, this is an all-hands-on-deck moment. We’d love to hear your ideas on co-creating a racially-just church and world.
For those who make it all the way through, you will hear co-hosts’ curate a playlist of protest songs. Jeff agrees to take the song selections and craft a musical journey. His inner elitist gets the better of him and he mansplains that there is a *right* way to make a playlist.
