 A Psalm of praise becomes a Psalm of lament as the City of Seattle cites and fines our congregation for the humans who have found refuge on our property after relentlessly being swept from public parks and lands. As our friend Rachael Weasley so poignantly sings, “How can our anger give life?” Of the many names for God, right now I need these most of all: God is Warrior Protectrix. God is shelter. God is good news for the poor. God is love. ~Pastor MeganSermon begins at minute marker 6:02Psalm 89ResourcesWoman's Lectionary for the Whole Church (Year W): A Multi-Gospel Single-Year Lectionary, Wilda C.

After seven years of marriage, activist and author Austin Channing Brown was pretty sure she didn't want children. But a conversation with a friend made her wonder if she was following her desire… or her fear.

“When you are quite literally told that you are not human. What option do you have? What's the other option other than to overthrow the system that is telling you you're not human, you know? And so this is work, this is generational work. And we have had to do that generational work largely alone, because when women got the opportunity to vote, we were purposefully left out. When the civil rights movement was happening, we were the backbone of that mission. But our names don't appear in the books, in our history books. That we know how to move through systems that weren't built for us because there are so few that are. The only systems that are built for us are the ones we build together. Otherwise, we spend our entire lifetime in this country moving through systems that were not made for us, and in fact that weren't, not just not made for us, but made to squash us, made to make sure that we do not succeed and so in order to live into our own human dignity, the only option is to change the world because this is unacceptable.” So says Austin Channing Brown. Her ability to distill essential truths always sends chills down my spine. Austin is a powerful and resonant public speaker, racial justice advocate and educator, and author, whose bestselling book, I'm Still Here, has catalyzed an indelible impact on how we perceive and discuss what it means to be a Black person, let alone a Black woman, in America. She just released a Young Adult version, which is required reading for all of our children as we work to build an equitable future. Austin is also the CEO of Herself Media, a platform creating content and narratives to provide a supportive space for those who find themselves on the outskirts of traditional power. Today, Austin joins me in unveiling the facade of what it means to be good and how culture detrimentally enforces this burdening standard of goodness on women. We discuss the importance of anger and how it can be a navigational tool. By examining her own anger, Austin learned to move that energy toward creating community and literature that relentlessly fights for the future that America needs.  MORE FROM AUSTIN CHANNING BROWN: I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness I'm Still Here: Adapted for Young Readers Herself Media Austin's Website Austin's Newsletter Follow Austin on Instagram To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

This National Sorry Day, we have brought back a previous episode and it's probably best for upper primary school students. Miss Thea's awesome class talks about racism, respect, empathy and curiosity.    During the Meet The Experts section we hear from a bunch of truly wonderful kids from Gawura School, a Kindergarten to Year 6 school for local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in Sydney's CBD. They share some interesting facts about their culture, as well as some words from their various language groups and they also read a powerful dreamtime story about listening and talking less. We thank and have huge respect for all the people having brave, awkward and important conversations with their children and communities. This episode was inspired by the words of Austin Channing Brown about being a better human and the joyful attitudes of the Gawura School kids.

One of the things I've come to believe during the now 10-year journey of Good Life Project is that there truly is no individual good life, without there also being a more collective and inclusive path for a societal good life. We are all interconnected. And a key part of this more expansive aspiration is about planting seeds, starting with younger generations. So, how do you raise kids to create a more equitable and inclusive society? One where we're not afraid to acknowledge and discuss beautiful experiences, while also addressing hard truths in a way that steeps us in reality, invites everyone into the conversation, and compels us to do the work needed to create more possibility, equality and opportunity for all, regardless of race, socio-economic status, religion, age, ability and beyond?That's where we're headed with today's guest, Dr. Ibram X. Kendi. He's the Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities at Boston University, founding director of the BU Center for Antiracist Research, a contributing writer at The Atlantic, CBS News racial justice contributor, and the host of the Be Antiracist podcast. Dr. Kendi is also the author of many highly acclaimed books including Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America, which won the National Book Award for Nonfiction, making him the youngest-ever winner of that award. He has also produced five straight #1 New York Times bestsellers, including How to Be an Antiracist, Antiracist Baby, and Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You, co-authored by Jason Reynolds. In 2020, Time magazine named Dr. Kendi one of the 100 most influential people in the world. He was awarded a 2021 MacArthur Genius Grant. And his new book, How to Raise An Antiracist, take us into the core ideas around bringing kids up - as caretakers, parents, educators and community members - in a way that opens their minds, hearts and eyes to both our history and to the work still to be done to decrease inequality and increase equality.You can find Ibram at: Website | Instagram | Be Antiracist PodcastIf you LOVED this episode you'll also love the conversations we had with Austin Channing Brown inviting all to play a part in creating a more equal and inclusive society.Check out our offerings & partners: My New Book Sparked | My New Podcast SPARKEDVisit Our Sponsor Page For a Complete List of Vanity URLs & Discount Codes.AquaTru: $100 off + free shipping.

My guest today, Blair Imani, grew up in a house where sitting quiet in the face of any level of injustice was just not an option. Whether it was advocating for the needs of a sibling or standing up to right a wrong in her community, her parents set a powerful example and invited Blair to always rise to the challenge. And that's exactly what she's done. But, along the way, Blair also discovered, there are different ways to make a difference, and we each need to figure out how to take up the mantle of change, while also honoring our unique circumstances and needs, and that includes acknowledging our own, very personal psychological and physical wellbeing. Building on this, Blair transitioned from organizing and activism to focusing on education, but in a way only she could do - harnessing the power, reach, interactivity and visual impact of social media by creating short, punchy, informative and entertaining bursts of wisdom and inspiration she calls her Smarter in Seconds series, which, at this point, has become a global movement.Now a writer, mental health advocate, award-winning educator, and historian living at the intersections of Black, Queer, and Muslim identity, Blair is the bestselling author of Read This to Get Smarter, Making Our Way Home, and Modern HERstory. Her scholarship spans intersectionality, gender studies, race and racism, sociology, and United States history. She has presented at Oxford, Stanford, and Harvard, serves on the Board of Directors for the Tegan and Sara Foundation, and been featured in The New York Times and tons of other outlets.You can find Blair at: Instagram | WebsiteIf you LOVED this episode you'll also love the conversations we had with Austin Channing Brown, about how we create the world around us and how we bring ourselves to it from a place of equity, dignity, and justice.Check out our offerings & partners: My New Book Sparked | My New Podcast SPARKEDAura Frames: The world's smartest digital picture frame.

Claudia Love Mair and Christine Valters Paintner have a conversation about I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness by Austin Channing Brown.  I'm Still Here is an illuminating look at how white, middle-class, Evangelicalism has participated in an era of rising racial hostility, inviting the reader to confront apathy, recognize God's ongoing work in the world, and discover how blackness—if we let it—can save us all.

With the rigor of a world-class researcher and the intention of someone who cares deeply about the human condition and understanding how we all got to this moment in history, Dr. Keisha N. Blain is an award-winning historian of the 20th century United States with specializations in African American History, the modern African Diaspora, and Women's and Gender Studies. She is an Associate Professor of History at the University of Pittsburgh and the president of the African American Intellectual History Society.

Kendi, drew together an incredible collection of voices with a vision to reclaim the historical narrative. And her new book, Until I Am Free: Fannie Lou Hamer's Enduring Message to America, is a powerful look not just at the role of civil and voting rights activist, Hamer and other Black women in social and political change, it's also an invitation for us all to explore our individual roles in the path to equality and freedom, led by Hamer's famed rallying cry, “Nobody's free until everybody's free.”You can find Keisha at: Website | InstagramIf you LOVED this episode:You'll also love the conversations we had with Austin Channing Brown.My new book Sparked.Check out our offerings & partners: GoodRx: Compare prescription drug prices and find coupons at more than 70000 US pharmacies.

In this episode, we talk about women all across the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament—from badass skull-breaking ladies like Jael to the too-many-Marys to the unnamed women that Jesus encountered, and everyone else in-between. We discuss the nuances of their stories that often aren't brought up in church (if the women are even mentioned at all), and we talk about the “Proverbs 31 woman” and why evangelicals have taken it out of its original context—it's a celebration of women for who they already are, not a checklist for what a perfect wife should be! We also talk about Paul's view of women when taking account of all his epistles and not just a few hand-picked verses—he worked alongside women in his missionary work, naming women in his letters as co-workers (or even with Phoebe's case, calling her a deacon) and telling the recipients to thank them; there's also the fact that some of the misogynistic-seeming verses from Paul's epistles about women are scorning the behavior of rude, wealthy widows and not all women at all times. This is by no means an exhaustive overview; if we didn't talk about your fave “biblical woman,” let us know who she is! We'll definitely get to her in a future episode (Bible Dyke Deep Dive on Esther, anyone?). Resources: Here's a list of all the named women in the Bible: https://www.biblegateway.com/resources/all-women-bible/Chapter-2-Alphabetical Here's a list of all the unnamed women in the Bible, including Paul's sister. Uh, Paul, that's so rude to not even mention her name!! https://www.biblegateway.com/resources/all-women-bible/Chapter-3-Nameless-Bible-Women Episode of VeggieTales that Anna mentioned: King George and the Ducky (based on the story of David and Bathsheba...obviously watered down a whole lot) To hear about the story of Rizpah in the Bible, listen to episode two of the Evolving Faith Podcast, "Climbing the Mountain of Injustice with Austin Channing Brown." She tells the story better than either of us ever could.

This is Kevin's second time on the podcast, and I was thrilled to continue our conversation about Christianity, faith, sexuality, spirituality, magic and gender, and how they all intersect. Kevin and I discuss the importance of cultivating spiritual community, how to avoid becoming a fake idol (or following one), and how they define and approach magic and ritual. Kevin also discusses their gender identity through the lens of Christianity and masculine/feminine energies. Find Kevin at thekevingarcia.com and on Instagram.

This year will be hard to forget, not only have we witnessed a pandemic unfold in front of our eyes, but also social movements that arise in the middle of chaos. The Black Lives Matter movement is especially highlighted, as unfortunate events triggered the rage of the already exhausted black community, who got the support of recently “woke” non-black allies. Awareness is just the first step of the anti-racism journey. On today's episode, Kamala is joined by an inspiring leader, speaker and black woman, Jovian Zayne, to chat about the role of awareness around racism in the American society. Listen to the perspectives of these two women in this new episode, as they discuss what they are expecting from true allies to fight alongside the black community for the creation of a more just reality. Jump straight into: (0:46) - The perfect year for a pandemic and the sudden (yet awfully late) national realization of racial injustice - “White people finally looked up and realized all at once: Damn... This country is racist!” (10:32) - Awareness opens your eyes, now, open your mind to different narratives - “There is a persistent issue of police violence, specifically against communities of color and even more specifically against black people.” (22:03) - Accept uncomfortable truths to start important conversations - “There are ways to deepen your awareness that don't require fully unloading every question that you have about race on the next black person that you see.” (25:15) - How Black Lives Matter has empowered and raised the voices of an entire community - “The idea that it makes some people so incensed to hear those three words together is because it actually does call out all of American history.” (37:30) - The problem with forced diversity and black representation - “We need the conversation that happens after the change and the commitment that comes after it. That's a pretty important step in the process, but not the whole process.” (42:36 ) - Dealing with non-believers of a very evident problem - “It's such a beautiful time to try to be an anti-racist. Is popular, it is on trend, is accessible and available.” Resources https://www.jovianzayne.com/onpurpose-movement (OnPurpose Movement) https://www.amazon.com/How-Be-Antiracist-Ibram-Kendi/dp/0525509283/ref=sr_1_1?crid=353FK10AB52K1&dchild=1&keywords=how+to+be+an+antiracist&qid=1605746346&sprefix=how+to+be+an+%2Caps%2C220&sr=8-1 (How to Be an Antiracist) by Ibram Kendi https://www.instagram.com/sharethemicnow (Share the Mic Now) https://www.amazon.com/The-Power-of-Vulnerability-audiobook/dp/B00D1Z9RFU/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=bren%C3%A9+brown&qid=1605746534&sr=8-8 (The Power of Vulnerability )by Brené Brown https://brenebrown.com/podcast/brene-with-austin-channing-brown-on-im-still-here-black-dignity-in-a-world-made-for-whiteness/ (Brené with Austin Channing Brown on I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CClvjO7HzXY/ (Reese Whiterspoon's conversation with Austin Channing Brown) https://www.amazon.com/We-Will-Not-Cancel-Transformative-ebook/dp/B08GG8WD96/ref=sr_1_1?crid=R7G6ODH5031C&dchild=1&keywords=we+will+not+cancel+us&qid=1605747001&s=digital-text&sprefix=we+will+not+can%2Cdigital-text%2C202&sr=1-1 (We Will Not Cancel Us) by Adrienne Maree Brown Thanks for tuning in!

The Tower of Babel has always felt like a distant story about a vengeful God. Jeremy and I dive into this story and reveal what knowledge we gained in translating it. The Tower of Babel is a story about empire and the quest for power, about poor theology and the dangerous cycle of confirmation bias. But, most importantly, it's about the absolute necessity for diversity. Diversity in representation, voice, relationships, and power. When Yahweh confuses the language, it was never a punishment, it was always a gift. Today's episode features a special reading form Timshel, so be sure to listen to the end!

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.  Spotlight I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness by Austin Channing Brown https://www.thedockbookshop.com/book/9781524760854 Be the Bridge: Pursuing God's Heart for Racial Reconciliation by Latasha Morrison https://www.thedockbookshop.com/book/9780525652885 Unlocking Us Podcast Hosted by Brené Brown https://brenebrown.com/unlockingus/ --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/whatisthechurchtodo/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/whatisthechurchtodo/support

Episode 21: MProper Mimi is joined by some awesome Millennials, a Gen Z and another Gen Xer to discuss I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness by Austin Channing Brown. Listen in as we talk about our different experiences in school, church and life when it comes to dealing with race...and how we are coping now. Over the weeks that our small multigenerational book club met together, I was surprised to learn from my daughter and cousin how their generations (who I thought did not see color) now perceive some of their childhood experiences. Even as we read through chapters about Austin's experiences, we touched a little upon race and reconciliation in the church, diversity in our public and private schools as well as how we manage to keep reading books with such heavy topics! Drop me a message or voice note after you listen to let me know if you can relate. Did you read the book also? What did you think?

Trisha's friend said to her, "None of this gets better unless white people start talking to white people."    This is that conversation.    Jim and Trisha talk about how they were influenced to think about race, about how they have changed their perspective through the helpful feedback of others, and about how they are learning to live anti-racist lives in the present.    Resources:  The podcast with Jen Hatmaker and Lisa Sharon Harper I'm Still Here by Austin Channing Brown.

What if there was a way to make the world a better place while you shop for cute jewelry and accessories that you love? Wait, you didn't know there already is?! You must not have heard of Noonday Collection before! Enter Emily. Emily Chappell is a wife, mom, educator, and Noonday ambassador. In this episode, Emily is telling us alllll about Noonday and more generally about being a conscious consumer. To view the full show notes, keep reading here or visit my website: www.heartfelthippie.com Noonday began 8 years ago when the founder, Jessica Honegger, was adopting internationally. Now, Jessica co-runs the largest fair trade, direct sales fashion brand in the world! This company is single-handedly changing the reputation of direct sales. It works like this: artisans across the globe living in marginalized communities make beautiful products, and then ambassadors in the US sell their products where there is a market for them, and both earn an income! Oh, and did I mention they are fair trade certified, a Certified B Corporation, and make their products out of recycled, natural materials? Emily actually got to witness all of this when she went to Peru with Noonday to visit some of the artisans, which she tells us all about in the show. Emily also explains why shopping ethically is important no matter where you're shopping from. She teaches us how we can be more conscious consumers, and how that doesn't automatically mean you need to quit shopping at your favorite stores. Rather, it can be as simple as checking where a product was made before purchasing it. When we as consumers increase the demand for ethically-made goods, we are going to make an impact on this world and the labor behind the label. If you are listening to this, you are most likely living in a well-established country, which means that you have a responsibility. How cool is it that we can take action in such fun ways as supporting companies like Noonday? You can also join in the fun by supporting Noonday and hosting a trunk show! Ask Emily how! With the holiday season here, we all know that this time is filled with shopping and gift-giving. As you listen to this episode, think about how you can make your purchases count for something that really matters. Have a Merry Christmas and wonderful holiday season, and now go check out Noonday!

Racism is pervasive. And it's hard to talk about. Austin Channing Brown is here to help. Austin sat down to talk about racism, white supremacy, "safe" white people and more.

It's vulnerable, truth-telling, beautiful writing, and coincidentally, one of the best books of the year. For real. You can find more from Austin at http://austinchanning.com/.

In this episode Austin Channing Brown discusses racial justice, why the scripture can sometimes be complicit in racism, why the term "White Supremacy" might be more prevalent than we think and why there is hope for reconciliation between the majority and minority groups here in the US.
