"Too often, our strong opinions result in polarization and broken relationships. But we can change that.  We can make 2024 the year of strong yet adaptable opinions.  We can make the new year a season of learning and growth; a season of communicating our ideas, while also meeting other people's opinions halfway.  We can prioritize people's hearts and love others the way God loves them.  We still might disagree at the end of the day, but we can do so while preserving the relationship and that's key."Leave a comment for Michelle: https://incourage.me/?p=236643--You're just a few questions away from your 2024 Word of the Year.

"Sitting in spaces of cultural discomfort for the sake of the gospel is always worth it. The next time you smell a new food in the cafeteria or at church or in your workplace, take a deep breath, smile, and genuinely ask the other person to tell you the story of their dish.  The more we embrace people's foods, the more we show them that we embrace the fullness of their humanity the way God does.  Trying things that are new and getting out of our comfort zones is hard, but sitting in spaces of cultural discomfort for the sake of the gospel is always worth it."Join the conversation: https://incourage.me/?p=235810-- Let DaySpring help you prepare your heart and home for Thanksgiving!

Dr. Clarence Shuler is the President and CEO of his nonprofit BLR- which stands for Building Lasting Relationships. Their mission is to equip others for discipleship in various venues. He and his wife both speak and write about marriage, but also dealing with infidelity, and divorce, but they especially love to minister to singles in the church. Whatever it looks like, the Shulers are committed to “loving people with God's love with no agenda and see what happens.” During our conversation today, Dr. Shuler shared his story of coming to Christ through a relationship that would impact his life in many ways, through a young guy by the name of Gary Chapman. Yup, the Love Languages guy. I share that because their relationship gave birth to 50+ years of friendship and an opportunity to share how crossing those racial lines in the 1960s taught them both and continues to guide them in helping others learn how to embrace cross-cultural friendships today. Dr. Shuler himself does quite a bit of diversity training for companies, and for churches, and brings such gracious honesty to the table about what it has been like for him as a Black man in predominately white spaces. His most recent book is a really powerful and raw look into his journey with depression and a sense of hopelessness. The book is called Finding Hope in Dark Places: Facing Loneliness, Depression, and Anxiety with the Power of Grace. He coauthored it with his therapist, Dr. Monique Smith Gadson, otherwise known as Dr. Mo. Their book is unique in that it gives an honest narrative of Clarence's personal experiences as he walked out the darkest place of his life, but also shows his relationship with his counselor and how she was able to help him in that season. It is full of spiritual and mental health wisdom, it does not end tied in a bow, but it is overflowing with hope. Dr. Shuler hopes that sharing his journey will empower anyone, but especially Black men, to embrace vulnerability and find God's power and healing in weakness. I also want to echo this powerful reminder Dr. Shuler gives in this episode: Being in a dark place is not a sin. It is a place for the Lord to reveal Himself in a whole new way. We see throughout scripture about the Lord shepherding us in dark places, and in this world, we will know and have trouble, but we will never be alone and He will help us to find our hearts again there. He is not finished with you, friend.

"The exhausting cycle of packed days, stressed-out kids, and emotional meltdowns was not going to change until rest became a central factor in our lives. I needed to pivot, to transform the way I approached parenting.  My realization came one day as I was reading Matthew 11:28: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" (NIV).  Jesus' words struck a chord deep within me. His invitation to find rest in Him was a reminder that in the midst of my family's hectic life, He is our source of calm and renewal. But even more so, it was a wake-up call for me to pursue slow, unhurried living within our family."Leave a comment for Michelle: https://incourage.me/?p=235042--The fall issue of DaySpring's Everyday Faith Magazine is out on newsstands!

"The power to change a person is God's and God's alone. Not mine. Knowing that it's not my job to change my family is liberating. When I'm with my family, I don't need to win arguments or put someone in their place. I'm not trying to be the smartest person in the room. I don't need to be that annoying family member who harps on someone over and over until I'm beating a dead horse with my advice.  My job is simply to love and encourage my family in ways that align with Scripture. The last thing I want is to communicate that I will only love them if they act and think like me. Making our family feel like our love is conditional based on their level of transformation does not represent the heart of God."Leave a comment for Michelle: https://incourage.me/?p=234121--Get ready for a faith-filled school year with our collection of Back-to-School essentials.

Across the country we're still wrestling with how to talk about race well. Where do we even begin the conversation on a topic that is so big and heavy? If you are a parent or grandparent, how do you respond to your children's questions and how often should you talk about race in your home? Today, Barb is talking with Dr. Michelle Ami Reyes, co-author of the book The Race Wise Family, a 2023 recipient of the Christianity Today Book Award. During today's conversation, you will learn a roadmap for how to talk about race in your home as well as many practical tips and fantastic resources to help you answer the hard questions for yourself as well as your kids and grandkids.   RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE michelleamireyes.com The Race-Wise Family: Ten Postures to Becoming Households of Healing and Hope Connect with Michelle on IG!

"Sharp, unfiltered words cause people pain. It's not that we can't be angry or frustrated when someone says something we disagree with. Sometimes people really do say upsetting things. But when someone really riles us up, when someone does or says something that just gets our blood boiling, the way of Christ is to respond with gentleness, not harshness."Leave a comment for Michelle: https://incourage.me/?p=233440--In our divisive and unforgiving world, we need mercy more than ever.

On June 19, 2023, the United States of America will celebrate its newest federal holiday: Juneteenth, which marks the anniversary of some slaves in Texas being told that they were free. But this is far from the first time that Juneteenth, which today's guest refers to as “a second Independence Day,” has been celebrated.  On this episode of The Russell Moore Show, Justin Giboney shares his memories of celebrating Juneteenth. Drawing on his expertise as a political strategist, attorney, and co-founder of the AND Campaign, Giboney speaks to the history and cultural narratives regarding systemic injustice in America. He and Moore discuss civil rights, the Black church, and the Christian witness in the public square. And they consider how believers in Jesus can engage in political spaces. Resources mentioned in this episode include:  AND Campaign How I Got Over docuseries by the AND Campaign The Church Politics Podcast Charlie Dates Prior work on Juneteenth at Christianity Today includes: “For Christians, Juneteenth Is a Time of Jubilee” by Rasool Berry “Why Juneteenth Should Matter to the Church” a webinar featuring Rasool Berry, Lisa Fields, Carey H.

How to fight racism is a question we want and need to answer. What can you do about racism? How can you make a difference? Listen in. Racism is hurting real people right now. Racism is hurting your brothers + sisters in Christ at this exact moment. Racism should make your skin boil because it is not God's plan for His people. So, what do you do? Where can you start? I mean, you're one person, what difference can you make? If you're wondering how you can become an antiracist, give Episode 160 with Jenny Booth Potter a listen. In today's episode, you'll learn about how to fight racism. Jenny Booth Pottersbreaks down: What antiracism is, How to begin your antiracism journey, And how to fight racism right where you are.

Starting and holding a conversation about race with your people can feel intimidating. My hope is for us, as Christ's followers, to begin talking about race with the people most important to us because God's heart is for people of every nation,  tribe, and tongue to know and worship Him. If this is what heaven will look like, why can't we bring heaven to earth now? Why can't the Church be the frontrunner in racial reconciliation and hope?  Friend, I posit to you today that it is no longer an option to do nothing: To avoid conversations, to not bring truth into the light, to bury our heads in the sand about how much racism has hurt our country. God's gospel calls us higher. God's gospel calls us to love people – those who look similar to us and those who do not. To go and make disciples – and the going could be as close as your next-door neighbor or as far away as whatever country is opposite of your latitude and longitude. To be in community with fellow image-bearers. Will you lean in and listen to God's heart for you as you live as a brave grace-girl?  In today's episode, you'll learn about talking about race with grace. Michelle Ami Reyes breaks down: How to cultivate a biblical understanding of the theology of race The difference between race, culture, and ethnicity, And how to have conversations about race with your kids and teens If you'd like to learn more talking about race with grace, check these out: #8: Grace in tragedy and injustice #53: Delete + Reset: Race, Racism, and Your Role in Racial Reconciliation with Dr. Lucretia Berry Mentioned in the podcast Books by people of color to read this year for adults and kids From Every People and Nation by J.

It's tempting to avoid direct conversations about racism because it immediately raises people's alarm systems. We all bring our personal baggage into the conversation and we don't want to cause offense to anyone through disagreements. How can youth pastor theologians model faithful ways to have sensitive conversations?  How can youth workers in mostly white youth groups care for the non-white students in our ministries - especially when we witness racism or cultural insensitivity?  How does the gospel reshape the way we think and talk about racism?  What are some of the biggest misconceptions people have about race conversations, and how can we avoid serious misunderstandings.  Sometimes we simply misunderstand each other. But sometimes we really do fundamentally disagree with our brothers and sisters in Christ. How can we disagree with each other well and navigate that with trust and respect from both sides of those disagreements.  Michelle Ami Reyes is the creator of Seasoned with Grace and writes at the intersection of multiculturalism, faith, and justice.

Michelle Ami Reyes is a woman of many talents. She is an author, a speaker, a minister, a scholar in residence, a racial justice activist, a wife, a Mom, and one of my absolute favorite people to talk to about learning to engage in scripture and conversations about race and culture, and God's vast heart for all image-bearers in His Kingdom. Her most recent book, The Race-Wise Family: Ten Postures to Becoming Households of Healing and Hope, she co-authored with the amazing Helen Lee. They define a race-wise family as “a family that asks God for help in unpacking racial issues and seeks His direction to know how to identify and combat racism in all its overt and subtle forms.”  This book is not a checklist, it is about pursuing God's Word for a heart posture that cares about all people in the Kingdom of God. Then, once those postures are presented, there is so much practical application available. They've pooled resources, and ideas for families of varying ages, and might be the best equipping resource I have seen for engaging these big and real things for hearts of any age. There is a growing divide between the responses of black and brown and white Christians and Michelle and Helen are calling us to pull up chairs towards one another and see each other through the eyes of our Maker. It is not about who can debate better, it is about how each image bearer experiences the world and God's heart for it in a very connected and relational way.  Since the time Michelle and I had this conversation, there have been multiple racially charged tragedies across the U.S. As I struggle to wrap my brain around what's happened, we feel the weight of the evil in this broken world. Michelle and Helen's book, the resources from Michelle's website and newsletter provide such incredibly helpful tools for how to work through events like this in conversations with the children in your life. The Lord is near to all who call on Him. He can and will lead us through the dark days. We must point one another while we lament to His heart. This is not how the story ends, friends. I'm so grateful that people like Michelle and Helen are using their stories to help encourage us to keep going. Remember friend, you matter, your neighbor matters. Your stories matter.

Larry speaks with Dr. Reyes about her new book and how we learn from people with diverse cultural backgrounds and develop relationships, and how Christmas traditions from other cultures can both help us to better understand aspects of the Advent and Christmas stories and how diverse cultures celebrate this special time.

We live in a globalized and connected world yet many of us struggle to reach outside of our own cultural bubbles and form real relationships that move beyond stereotypes and lead to understanding, healing, and solidarity across cultural lines. Even in shared multi-ethnic spaces like churches, schools, and workplaces where we may feel diverse, we must remember that multiethnicity does not equate to multiculturalism. In this episode, Michelle Ami Reyes takes us on a journey on how to look closer at our own cultures in order to appreciate and deepen our friendships with people of different cultural backgrounds.Michelle Ami Reyes, PhD, is the Vice President of the AACC (Asian American Christian Collaborative) and Co-Executive Director of Pax.

The church is supposed to be made up of many tribes and nations. However, too often multicultural church spaces end up reinforcing the norms and spiritual practices of white majority culture over and against the spiritual practices of other groups. Things become even trickier when trying to balance multiple minority cultures in one church body. How can Christians think through these complex issues? Kyle talks with Dr. Michelle Reyes, a writer, activist, and pastor who has just written a book called "Becoming All Things: How Small Changes Lead to Lasting Connections Across Cultures" aimed at helping Christians develop cultural fluency and humility in cross-cultural interactions. Listen in now!

What is the story of Asian America? Jane Hong sits down with Raymond Chang and Michelle Ami Reyes to talk about the roots of the term “Asian American,” the impact of the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act on Asian immigration, and what kinds of changes can be made to immigration today. Jane Hong is associate professor of history at Occidental College. She received her PhD in history from Harvard University and is the author of Opening the Gates to Asia: A Transpacific History of How America Repealed Asian Exclusion, published by UNC Press in 2019. Her current project considers how post-1965 Asian immigration changed US evangelical institutions and politics. The book, under contract with Oxford University Press, connects two historical developments rarely considered together: the rise of the Religious Right and the effects of the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act. Born and raised in the New York City area, Hong now lives in Los Angeles with her husband and daughter.

In this episode we process the horrific events that took place in Atlanta earlier this week in which a twenty-one year old white male attacked three Asian-owned business, including spas and massage parlors in the broader metro area. We also address the narrative that has emerged about the motivation for the murders. Was this a racialized hate crime? Or was it a sexualized crime rooted in the shooter's “sexual temptation”? We affirm that this is in fact a false dichotomy and that intersectional thinking is required to do justice to the full complexity of the issues at play here. Over the course of the conversation we address the rise of Asian American hate crimes since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, evangelical purity culture, and also the fact that this shooter was a Christian and how Christians have responded too quickly to denounce any significance to that fact. Team members on the episode include: Jennifer Guo, Grace Sangalang Ng, Dr. Josh Carrol, Dr. John Anthony Dunne, Brandon Hurlbert, Rev. Daniel Parham, Dr. Chris Porter, and Dr. Logan Williams.
