As we begin Black History Month, we are releasing a special interview about our willingness to be ourselves regardless of what society says. Our guest today is writer, activist, and speaker A.D. Thomason. A.D. is on to speak about his new book Permission to Be Black.  AD is a three time award winning filmmaker and Co-founder of 3Strandfilms (read and view films here NOTOFTHEM.COM). Adam is an adjunct professor at Kilns College where he teaches on the History of Human rights and justice, De-colonizing your faith, filmmaking and more. He’s with us today to speak about his new book: Permission to Be Black: My Journey with Jay-Z and Jesus.  “Throughout American history, Black people were not given the freedom to acknowledge their suffering. A. D. Thomason believes that the Holy Spirit brings freedom and liberation as we're able to name our pain, recognize its roots in history and society, and seek healing. While many saw a confident, six-foot-five Black man, A. D. "Lumkile" Thomason lived most of his life in fear and anguish, deeply wounded by encounters with violence, abandonment, and family tragedy.  A. D. uses his artistry as a poet and storyteller to share how he confessed his internalized pain and embraced the liberating joy of Christ. He writes for millennials, emerging adults, and anyone else who's ready to acknowledge the reality of racial trauma and our need to confront it. His powerful story gives you permission to be Black, to be Christian, and to be the person God has made you to be.” ALSO, don’t forget to send in your thoughts on the Movie Soul!

Some writers write because they want to stay popular or current with the latest trends; Adam Thomason writes from a prophetic burden and a message of hope and empathy for those who are struggling with their black identity. He has seen too many people who continue to carry pain and anguish from surviving as a black man or woman in our country, and he wants for them to experience freedom from these mental and physical burdens and stresses. And he has borne those burdens himself, from surviving as a black boy in the streets of Detroit to experiencing rejection due to the color of his skin. He tells all these stories and more, including performing several of his spoken-word poems, in this wide-ranging and compelling conversation. You'll also learn the unique backstory of how his striking cover was developed and created.About the Guest: A. D. "Lumkile" Thomason is a speaker, poet, and award-winning filmmaker.

Honored to have Ken Wytsma back on the podcast sharing about his book Redeeming How We Talk: Discover How Communication Fuels Our Growth, Shapes Our Relationships, and Changes Our Lives. About the Book:  Technology has made it easier than ever before to share just about everything: pictures, ideas, even the ups and downs of your morning errand run. Yet all our talking doesn't seem to be connecting us the way it promised to. That's because we don't need to talk more, we need to talk better. Redeeming How We Talk explores what the Bible has to say about that central aspect of life and relationships--conversation. The Scriptures show us that words have remarkable power--to create, to bless, to encourage, to forgive. Imagine how we could spark change in our families, churches, and communities if we learned to use words like Jesus did. By weaving together theology, history, and philosophy, Ken Wytsma and A. J. Swoboda help us reclaim the holiness of human speech and the relevance of meaningful conversation in our culture today. About the Author:  Ken Wytsma is a leader, innovator, and social entrepreneur. Ken is the lead pastor at Village Church--A Multicultural Community in Christ. He is also the founder of Kilns College, where he teaches courses on philosophy and justice, and the founder of The Justice Conference--a yearly international conference that exposes men and women to a wide range of organizations and conversations relating to justice and the biblical call to give our lives away. Ken lives in Portland, Oregon, with his wife, Tamara, and their four daughters. Connect with Ken: KenWytsma.com Twitter Instagram For additional show notes, visit ShaunTabatt.com/257.

Honored to have Ken Wytsma on the show sharing about his fabulous book Create vs. Copy: Embrace Change. Ignite Creativity. Break Through with Imagination. About the Book:  Today's leaders simply can't succeed without putting creativity in their toolbox. If you don't think you're creative, that may sound discouraging. But take heart: creativity can be taught and practiced, and Create v. Copy shows you how. This short, punchy book explores various aspects of creativity and imagination and leads you toward a healthy, confident, more innovative life mindset. It celebrates the good news of your God-given capacity to create and helps you harness it to take charge of your life, navigate changing times, and ultimately, flourish and succeed.  Having traveled to dozens of countries, founded the leading international conference on justice and theology, and collaborated with scores of nonprofits, Wytsma is uniquely fit to help us be culture-shapers in a world of global change. He blends theology, history, and cultural observation to show us what being God's creative image-bearers might look like today. Whether you're a parent, CEO, pastor, or politician, this fresh look at contemporary leadership will challenge the way you view your position of influence, and it will equip you to adapt and thrive in our perplexing yet exciting cultural climate.

Creativity vs. Consistency One of the most significant tensions that leaders must manage is that balance between creativity and consistency. On one hand, we were created in the image of a creative God who invites us to engage the complex problems of the world with creativity. On the other hand, God is faithful, unchanging, and consistent. We display his character when our work is marked by a long obedience in the same direction.  For the April Surge lunch, we will explore the tension between creativity and consistency, we will address questions such as:  When do you choose creativity? When do you choose consistency?   How do we cultivate a creative mindset in life and leadership? How can we approach problem-solving with greater imagination? How does the Gospel sustain faithfulness in a world that esteems newness?  Join us for a free meal, time of fellowship, panel discussion and an important conversation about the tension between creativity and consistency.    Speaker: Ken WytsmaKen Wytsma is a leader, innovator, and social entrepreneur respected for his insight and collaborative spirit.

Readers of this book will learn to live creatively even when change feels unwelcome in their environment.“From a leadership concept, if you copy, you’re never at the front end of leadership. If someone else has blazed the trail, and you’re following behind, you’re never really going to make the innovation or lead the change or whatever it might be.”
