More than Diversity...We need INCLUSIVITY!! with Jonee Ripperger
Today we have my friend Jonee Ripperger. She has quickly become a friend and ally in this work. She is a wife, artist, photographer, worship leader, animal lover, and a wonderful example of what it looks like to love your neighbor. Jonee and I have had the pleasure of doing some “Be The Bridge” work together, and it’s been an honor to work with her and see her heart. Which is why I am beyond excited to have her on today! Enjoy as Jonee shares what she's learned through Be The Bridge, the impact its had on her life, and what she wants others to know.
1. The church must acknowledge that racism exists.
2. We must admit that we have been implicit.
3. We must Lament.
4. We must educate through multiple resources.

"The Church should be more Curious" with Barbie Fischer
Today we have Barbie Fischer. She is someone I’ve admired for years. We met 20 years ago in a youth group and I’ve admired her from afar since then. She has worked with countless non-profits always with the goal of seeking justice, peace building, and directing communities to focus towards oppression and overcoming it. I’m a fan of having people that are well versed in both social and Biblical justice, and this one takes the cake! Love you girl so great to have you on.
