Podcast appearances and mentions of kenji kuramitsu

My guests pulsate at such perceptive, heartfelt levels that I expect only aural soundscapes to emerge rather than actual conversation. I wouldn't be mad about that, but then we'd miss out on receiving the wisdom of folks like Kenji Kuramitsu, M.Div, LCSW. The two of us went spelunking in the deep caverns of generational trauma, shame, and resistance. Our conversation connected the many dots between what has become divided and what has gone willfully unaddressed. GUEST BIO Kenji Kuramitsu, LCSW, M.Div (he/him) is a mental health and spiritual care professional living in Chicago, IL. Kenji draws on training in health care chaplaincy, group psychotherapy, and anti-racism consulting to provide care in clinical, nonprofit, and movement settings.

El invitado de este episodio es Kenji Kuramitsu, un chavalo que a su edad ya es autor, activista y trabajador social. Actualmente está haciendo dos Másters, uno en Teología y otro en Trabajo Social. Apasionado por la Justicia Social y la Teología de la Liberación, pláticamos sobre lo que es ser una persona de color en contextos blancos vs. nuestra realidad en Latinoamérica; conversamos sobre la opresión y el ejemplo que dejo Jesús en la lucha por derribar estos sistemas que nos quieren dominar.

This is an encore of Episode 18 with Kenji Kuramitsu. Kenji is a writer and Master of Divinity student living in Chicago, IL. He is a queer fifth-generation Japanese American, and serves on the board of the Reformation Project and the Japanese American Citizens League. Kenji believes that our worship and our prayers and our way of living are all intimately intertwined: what we do in our prayer affects our beliefs, which in turn affects our very way of being in the world. Praying shapes believing shapes living as faithful Christians in a world torn apart by social ills. His new book, “A Booklet of Uncommon Prayer” explores this idea as a collection of collects for the Black Lives Matter movement and beyond. It is available from Evangelicals for Social Action: evangelicalsforsocialaction.org/booklet-uncommon-prayer/ Follow him online via Instagram and Twitter: @afreshmind.

This was a tough week. The colonizers getting on my last nerve. That's why I had to bring my good friend and brilliant mind, Kenji Kuramitsu. We're talking race, Christianity, de-colonizing minds, and what it means to be a conscious socially...

Let's face it — so many people are hurt by the church. Why should anyone go back to a church that has deeply hurt you? Lydia and Liz don't hold back from critiquing where churches get it wrong, but also what makes for a truly revolutionary, transformative church community. What does a PAAC church look like? What do conservative churches do better than progressive ones? And what makes someone who has been hurt by the church decide to come back? Thank you for listening!

Coming Out Day is October 11th, and though these are stories of joy and self-acceptance, coming out in a Christian context is sometimes a lot more painful and complicated. And it gets even more complicated for women and people of color. This week, Kevin sits down with Kenji Kuramitsu to talk about being of mixed race and from an LGBT family construct, and coming to terms with one's own racial identity. And later in the podcast, Buzzfeed producer Niki Ang joins us to share her story of coming out in a white megachurch, and what it's like being a queer woman of color working in mostly white contexts. As per usual, connect with Kevin Garcia on the blog theKevinGarcia.com, and leave us a rating in the iTunes store so that more people can get connected with the cool content we're creating with the Bedlam Podcast Network.
