Podcasts about bridge pursuing god's heart

Today we remember Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.—we remember his dream, the progress for Civil Rights that he helped make possible, and we remember the tension he held between hope and reality. You may know him best for his “I have a dream” speech, but did you know he also said, “The dream had turned somewhat into a nightmare.”? My friend Latasha Morrison, bridge-builder and racial reconciler, is joining us to talk about how far we've come and how far we have yet to go— the hope and the nightmare we still see today.  I believe this conversation is more important now that it was in 2020. Latasha helps us pull back the curtain on race in America over the last four years.  You ready to jump in? We've got work to do. . . . . .

Merry Christmas Friends, Welcome to the Re-Weav podcast with Mitchele Anderson. Where we discuss what it means to weave racial unity in God's community, sharing resources and stories to guide us on this journey.  My name is Mitchele & I'm so glad you're here. Today, we are continuing the series Through Their Eyes || Believing While Black.  Through the end of the month we will be hearing the testimonies of fellow brothers and sisters in Christ from the black community, or more accurately the African diaspora.  The African diaspora refers to a diverse global collection of communities that are made up of sub-Saharan Africans or descendants of sub-Saharan Africans. In each conversation we discuss identity, racism, faith, growth, & hope.  We know that no cultural or ethnic group is monolithic. And still, I hope this series will provide you with an understanding of the experiences of our Black brothers and sisters in Christ. I pray that your hearts are soft and your ears are open to the possibility of a shift in perspective. I have a Christmas surprise for you today!  My sister Angelique Beaver is our guest today! Angelique is a single mom of 2 amazing little boys (August-Lee Danger Beaver-Bent & Sonny-Frisco Blaze. Beaver-Bent. Can you tell we like unique names and hyphens. haha)  Her expertise is in team building and marketing, but her real passion is singing and dancing.  She is my favorite singer, second only to our dad.  Angelique and I discuss family legacy, misidentification, anti-racist allyship, & compassion.  She shares her unique vantage point as a Black woman that the world sees as White, and her experiences with racism on both sides.  She also shares how her approach of confronting racism has transformed into a more grace-filled approach.  I really enjoyed having this conversation with my big sister and I hope you will too. I am grateful that she was open about her personal history and honest about her hurt as well as her hope.

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

As our country has wrestled with the realities of racism over the past couple of weeks, we've been reflecting quite a bit over here and we're guessing that many of you have too. So let's talk about it. In this episode, we're sharing our recent experience at protests, our own journeys/encounters with racism, and what we're doing now to diversify our networks and stand with the #BlackLivesMatter movement. Plus, we're diving deep into how being a mother of a child with Down Syndrome affects the way we see racism and oppressive systems. Please join us for this important conversation then head straight to our show notes for links to books that can help each of us identify privilege and create change.

 “I want to be heard, I want people to listen and I want you to empathize and I want you to stand with me”   In God's eyes, we are all his beautiful and amazing children. We are created and born equal, but how could we humans, cannot look at each other as God looks at us? Coinciding with the recent event that occurred on the 25th of May which has gone viral and gave rise to thousands of individual to stand up and fight for their rights, I am very blessed and honored to have with me a dear friend of mine, a beautiful woman of color, wife and mom of four, Joslynn Flowers on a truthful and open conversation about racism. Luke 15: Let us all take this time to pause and think, how could we, as part of the 99 sheep save that one missing and endangered sheep?   Highlights: The unforgivable inhumane racism experiences that Joslynn had to go through because of her color and how she handled every situation accordingly Realizing on how privileged I am with my skin color and how we can be a part of the solution in resolving racism Media's huge contribution on this event and how it misleads the people on thinking about the current situation Why rioting, breaking others property and chaotic protest isn't the solution in seeking justice for the black lives Understanding that all lives matter but not all lives are at stake right now Why it is very important to have an organic conversation about races with your children early at home and how you shape them so they could bring out the message to everyone that all colors are born equal. Opening a simple conversation, lending an ear, uplifting and encouraging persons of color around you, that they are not alone in this battle and you are fighting with them.   Speak up, pray for them, and stand with them, sign the petitions, vote wisely.   Links:  If you think you have trouble deep within, come and visit Joslynn at https://lifewithflowers.blog/ as she welcomes you to have an open dialogue with her.
