What's the price of deconstructing faith, and is it worth what it costs? We've been asking ourselves that lately and in this conversation we keep talking about it in the wake of our previous conversation with Mark Charles. We talk about building a faith that can withstand force, and how hard it is to do that. Let us know what you think on Instagram @colorcorrectionpodcast, or leave us a comment or message at colorcorrectionpodcast.com!
Andrew and his cousin Justin chat on the phone about the Mark Charles episode, but also about whether there's anything about their family legacy they want to keep -- including Christianity. Let us know what you think at colorcorrectionpodcast.com or on instagram @colorcorrectionpodcast!

Sarah and guest “answerers” Mark Charles (https://wirelesshogan.com) and Phil Fox (https://www.youtube.com/MrPhilFox)continue the conversation from the last episode. Questions include: Settlers are often told to seek relationship with local Native people. But what if Native folks don't seem to want this? What does it really mean to build right relationship with Native people? I have grown up and lived most of my life with an understanding of human progress, that each successive generation lived better than the generation prior. Our medical treatments improve; our scientific knowledge advances; our technology gets better and better. For a variety of reasons, I am now questioning this view. Please comment on the idea of human progress. In particular, please share your thoughts on the idea of human progress in the area of morality. Dr. King famously said “The arc of the moral universe is long, but leans towards justice.“ But as I learn more about Indigenous societies, I am no longer confident that our modern society is more just than certain societies many centuries ago. Mark also returns to the first question asked in our last podcast episode: How can you practice Christianity and your own Indigenous spirituality at the same time? Can you be true to yourself and your Indigenous identity and be a Christian at the same time? Please consider signing the "I Support the Sacred" petition (https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/i-support-oak-flat) to show your support for Apache Stronghold's legal case to protect Oak Flat. Resolution Copper, a subsidiary of British and Australian mining giants Rio Tinto and BHP, proposes to completely destroy this sacred site and contaminate the surrounding land, water and air. Preserving the religious liberty of Apache peoples is essential to preserving our own. We must all join together to protect sacred land from the forces of destruction.

In this episode we sit down with Mark Charles, activist, pastor, speaker, citizen of the Navajo Nation, and co-author of *Unsettling Truths: The Ongoing, Dehumanizing Legacy of the Doctrine of Discovery* to talk about the importance of interrogating our faith. Is Jesus the model for inclusion he's been built up to be? Is there a path forward in the Christian faith for colonized people? Mark challenges us and shares his insights about decolonizing faith in this episode of Color Correction!

In this recurring episode, Sarah answers questions from listeners. This time, she is joined by Native friends Mark Charles (https://wirelesshogan.com) and Phil Fox (https://www.youtube.com/MrPhilFox). Questions include: How can you practice Christianity and your own Indigenous spirituality at the same time? Can you be true to yourself and your Indigenous identity and be a Christian at the same time? The Bible is pretty clear that men shouldn't have long hair. What do you think about having long hair? (This was actually a topic at the church in which Sarah grew up.) As a member of a church that is trying to be more than superficial about acknowledging that we occupy land that was illegitimately taken from natives, how can we respond in an honest way? We want your questions, especially those you might feel too embarrassed to ask “out loud.” Please submit any questions to Sheri at sheri@dismantlediscovery.org. You can even do so anonymously, if you wish.

Mark and Charles talked about Capitalism and AI. There are some serious concerns about robots taking over their jobs. The positive part of AI is how much faster inventions are coming out. The NYC budget is more than the entire state of Florida.
In the third episode of Heavenly Homeland, a five-part audio documentary from Faithful Politics, we explore the profound and often contentious relationship between Christian nationalism and American history. Host Will Wright takes us on a thought-provoking journey through instances where Biblical scripture has been wielded as a tool for both oppression and liberation, reflecting deeply on the ethical and spiritual dilemmas faced by those at the intersection of faith and governance.We start the episode with a particularly harrowing story of George Stinney, the youngest person sentenced to death in the U.S. who was too small to fit in the electric chair and was propped up by the use of a Bible where he was electrocuted. Professor Corinna Lain, a constitutional law scholar, provides insight into Stinney's case, shedding light on broader issues of racial injustice and the death penalty.The episode also features Mark Charles, a Native American activist, who discusses the Doctrine of Discovery's devastating impact on indigenous peoples, framing it within the broader context of America's historical amnesia regarding its founding and the ongoing struggles for racial and social justice.We hear again from Robby Jones, president of PRRI, who revisits the roots of white supremacy in American Christianity, connecting the historical dots between religious splits over slavery and modern racial divisions. This historical perspective is enriched by Professor Anthea Butler's exploration of polygenesis and the misuse of biblical interpretations to support racist ideologies.The episode ends with a brief look at Christian Nationalism influences at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021 and we hear from Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn to get his thoughts on what it all means.Listen to the full interviews with each of our guest:"Executing Virginia" w/Professor Corinna Lain"Unsettling Truths: The Ongoing, Dehumanizing Legacy of the Doctrine of Discovery” w/Mark Charles"Religion, White Supremacy, and the American Future" w/Robert P.

The series up until now has focused on individuals who have experienced spiritual trauma, but that has left some questions unanswered: what about those who perpetuate or are complicit in spiritual trauma? What about those of us who may not even know that has been the case? What about systemic spiritual trauma that is part of the fabric of our cultures? In this concluding episode, we address the other side of spiritual trauma and hear from Mark Charles about the legacy of the doctrine of discovery. Content note: this episode references residential schools. Correction: This episode references a shooting at a protest and the perpetrator's name in the audio is incorrect. The perpetrator was Kyle Rittenhouse, not Dylann Roof. Credits Written and recorded by: Hillary McBride Guests: William Matthews III, Dr. Roberto Che Espinoza, and K.J.

Even though the impact of trauma is felt most obviously in each individual, through the symptoms that show up in their thinking, feeling, and sensing, what causes such trauma, and the impact of it, spreads far beyond the individual. In this episode, Dr. Hillary McBride describes how spiritual trauma impacts our brain-body system, what post-traumatic stress is, and explores the systemic causes and effects of spiritual trauma. Guest interviews for this episode include K.J. Ramsey, Dr. Roberto Che Espinoza, and Mark Charles. The episode ends with a guided body-based emotion practice.

As we continue our conversation about “Church After Mars Hill,” host Joel Kiekintveld is joined by guest Dr. Ron Ruthruff, Associate Professor of Theology and Culture at The Seattle School of Psychology and Theology. When examining the story of Mars Hill, there exists an underexplored theme of race and Whiteness. In his book "After Whiteness," Dr. Willie Jennings defines Whiteness as the embodiment of a self-sufficient man who embodies possession, mastery, and control. Driscoll's calls to White men tapped into not only male rage but also White rage, reflecting the desire for control and dominance. By exploring the missing elements in the Mars Hill discussion, our discussion aims to shed light on the intersection of Whiteness and the power dynamics within evangelical church culture. Ron and Joel delve into the profound significance of addressing race and Whiteness within our systems, communities, and theological frameworks. They shed light on the far-reaching implications this exploration holds for the future of the church in a post-Mars Hill era. Through thought-provoking discussions, we're challenged to move beyond the safety of homogeneity and embrace differences within our faith communities.

BrownProducer, Editor, & Music - Travon Potts with Integrated Entertainment StudiosAssistant Producer & Transcriber - Sarah Connatser Quotes:“There's a crisis of discipleship.” -Latasha Morrison “One of the issues of Christian nationalism is that it allows for all of these conversations about all these different ethnic groups without actually talking to any of those ethnic groups and having them be included in the conversation.” -Sean Watkins “I grew up with the Christian flag on one side and the American flag on the other. And if we don't think that our theology is shaped by our place and our space, then we're not being honest with ourselves.” -Elizabeth Behrens “We're supposed to be trying to honor and glorify God, not a nation, not a group, not a denomination. But honor and glorify God. With everything that we got we're loving him.” -Micah Smith Terms:Christian Nationalism: a cultural framework that idealizes and advocates a fusion of Christianity with American civic life. Christian nationalism contends that America has been and should always be distinctively “Christian” from top to bottom – in its self-identity, interpretations of its own history, sacred symbols, cherished values, and public policies – and it aims to keep it that way.

Our guest this week is Mark Charles, Native American Activist, Author and Pastor. He has a lot to say about the state of our union and the Doctrine of Discovery. So what is the Doctrine of Discovery? I think Mark explains this clearly in an article he wrote in 2019 for the Faith and Leadership online magazine:"The Doctrine of Discovery is a series of papal bulls, or edicts, of the Catholic Church. The first one, from 1452, is titled Dum Diversas, written by Pope Nicholas V. It authorized the Portuguese to “invade, search out, capture, vanquish, and subdue all Saracens and pagans, … reduce their persons to perpetual slavery, and … convert them to … their use and profit” [as detailed in the follow-up Romanus Pontifex of 1455].It's the church in Europe saying to the nations of Europe, “Wherever you go, whatever land you find not ruled by white European Christian rulers, those people are subhuman, and their land is yours to take.”So this was adopted by European nations both [in efforts] in Africa to colonize and enslave people and by Columbus to land in this “New World,” which is already inhabited by millions, and claim to discover it. You cannot discover lands already inhabited. That's called stealing. The fact that we refer to what Columbus did as “discovery” reveals the implicit racial bias, which is that native people, people of color, aren't fully human."This episode does a deep dive into this dangerous doctrine and using his heavily researched book ("Unsettling Truths: The Ongoing, Dehumanizing Legacy of the Doctrine of Discovery") Mark gives us on a wild history lesson on its impact. We also discuss how the false deification of some of America's most prominent icons (ie: Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Abraham Lincoln, etc) may not necessarily deserve the praise they've received. There's enough in this episode to offend everyone!If you'd like to purchase his book, which we highly recommend, you can purchase it here: https://wirelesshogan.com/2022/10/27/unsettling-truths/Guest Bio:Mark Charles is a speaker, writer, and consultant.

Join us for today's episode with 2020 Presidential candidate Mark Charles and the author of Unsettling Truths: The Ongoing, Dehumanizing, Legacy of the Doctrine of Discovery, as we wrestle with the doctrine of discovery and its impact on the indigenous peoples of North America. In this episode, we grapple with the treatment of Native Americans and the church's role in supporting the horrific and genocidal treatment of the native people of this land. This powerful interview will certainly leave you uncomfortable. But it is a past that we must reckon with if we are to ever move forward in bringing conciliation. This is Rob.

A few years ago, Civics 101 did a series revisiting the Declaration of Independence, and three groups for which the tenants of life, liberty, and property enshrined in that document did not apply. We bring you all three parts of that series today, and hear from legal and historical scholars about how Black Americans, Indigenous peoples, and women were excluded from our founding document, and how they responded. Find the series page here. Part 1: Byron Williams, author of The Radical Declaration, walks us through how enslaved Americans and Black Americans pushed against the document from the very beginning of our nation's founding.Part 2: Writer and activist Mark Charles lays out the anti-Native American sentiments within it, the doctrines and proclamations from before 1776 that justified ‘discovery,' and the Supreme Court decisions that continue to cite them all.Part 3: Laura Free, host of the podcast Amended and professor at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, tells us about the Declaration of Sentiments, the document at the heart of the women's suffrage movement.
Mark Charles talks to us about official church edicts that gave Christian explorers the right to claim territories they "discovered," leading to the enslavement, genocide, and dehumanization of minority communities.
Dr. Chris Brooks was in the thick of his dissertation when he co-founded Brown Venture Group, a venture capital firm exclusively for Black, Latinx, and Indigenous technology startups. On top of that, he worked a full-time job and took his commitments as a spouse and father of four seriously. But what sounds like extreme sacrifice to us was “being obedient to my calling” to Chris. And that calling? Creating a new case for human flourishing in communities of color. Chris believes venture capital can move marginalized groups out of poverty and into living wage jobs, making that human flourishing possible. Christian theology — particularly Eastern-rooted theology — and economics are, to Chris, intertwined and inextricable. His doctorate and lifelong study of theology are indispensable to his entrepreneurship and devotion to economic justice.

Earthkeepers: A Circlewood Podcast on Creation Care and Spirituality
In this special encore of a recent webcast, we'll be in conversation with Brian McLaren about his book called Do I Stay Christian: A guide for the doubters, the disappointed, and the disillusioned. I'll be cohosting with Victoria Loorz of the Wild Church Network, and Kate Davis from the Center for Transforming Engagement at The Seattle School. Together we'll pay particular attention to the Brian's ideas about something Brian calls “re-wilding.” As he describes it in his book, re-wilding is all about re-aligning and re-orienting our hearts, minds, and bodies with the natural world. Re-wilding is about re-connecting to the earth as our teacher, and seeking the wisdom that is found in wilderness. Comments or questions?

Mark Charles, Native American pastor and author of the book Unsettling Truths: The Ongoing Dehumanizing Legacy of the Doctrine of Discovery with co-author Soong-Chan Rah, sits down with Tim to discuss Christian Supremacy's impact on Native Americans. Mark gives a breakdown of his background growing up in a missionary school on the Navajo Reservation and his journey to becoming a pastor on the Reservation. They break down what the Doctrine of Discovery is starting with Christopher Columbus and the Catholic Church who authorized this doctrine. Mark then shows how Protestants who initially rejected the Doctrine of Discovery because of its Catholic roots, changed course on the way to the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Tim and Mark examine the Homestead Act of 1862 and the impact it had on Native Americans across the country. Mark explains how the racist policies of Abraham Lincoln impact current issues with incarcerated black Americans and removal of Native Americans off their native lands.Sponsor: The Amoveo GroupMark Charles WebsiteFollow Us on Instagram // @thenewevangelicalsSupport the Work We DoAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

In the Navajo culture, that is how Mark Charles - pastor, author, 2020 Presidential candidate - would introduce himself to you. Mark grew up believing the same narrative that we all believed: that America and the Church stood for justice and equality. But after moving his family from Denver, CO to a Navajo reservation and learning more about the history of his people and his culture, he began to break down the myth of a just America and an affirming Church when the two have been so intertwined throughout the centuries of genocide committed against indigenous peoples. In this episode, Mark discusses the journey that led him to co-author "Unsettling Truths: The Ongoing, Dehumanizing Legacy of the Doctrine of Discovery" and what it truly means for a country and a religion to lament and work towards racial conciliation.
