Resist and Restore: a spiritual life podcast Circle of Hope

Interview with professor, author, and former pastor Drick Boyd. Jonny interviews Drick on his book “Disrupting Whiteness: Talking With White People About Racism.” Drick shares the story of how he came to write this book, along with some stories from his personal journey of anti-racism, mistakes he’s made, and how he has learned to talk to other white folks about internalized, interpersonal, institutional, and systemic racism. Also in this episode, the pastors share their favorite Christmas songs and what’s been nourishing their souls: Advent, The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo, and a handmade gift.

Interview with author, musician, and activist Andre Henry on his book All the White Friends I Couldn’t Keep. In his book and this interview, Andre recalls experiences from throughout his life that have caused him to examine his relationships with White people. He explores ideas such as what it means to break up with white Jesus, seeing black rage as a gift, and complicity among white people who call themselves anti-racist. As always, Spiritual Show and Tell to end the episode: On Repentance And Repair by Danya Ruttenberg, This Here Flesh by Cole Arthur Riley, and a production of Les Misérables.
