We often talk about Saul's "Damascus Road" conversion. But of course, his mind, heart, and actions don't change on the Damascus Road. For that, he needs to be subject to someone else's power, and they must show mercy. Only by being in a place to perceive his own actions through someone else's experience could he be changed.

In our second episode of the Delete + Reset series, we talk about race, racism, and your role in racial reconciliation as Dr. Lucretia Berry, founder of Brownicity, joins the show.  How exactly is “race” defined? What is racism? Who has white privilege? Dr. Berry defines these terms and helps us delete mindsets that are unhealthy and holding back our country (and our relationships!) like the “bootstrap mentality” and staying quiet so we don’t offend people. She also shares three practical ways to talk to your kids about race in a non-awkward way. I love how Dr. Berry talked about how we don’t live in a vacuum so what we do impacts our collective and how silence aligns with complicity because lies don’t mind being loud, obnoxious, and wrong.  If you want to know how to talk about race with your kids and friends, how to replace antiquated mindsets with God’s truth, and how to make our country a better place to live, and you’re ready for a conversation about race that’s handled with grace and kindness, listen in. Key Quotes  “Race is not biological. It’s policies and practices put in place to hold people in particular categories in relation to power.” - Dr. Lucretia Berry “Race isn’t a topic we learn about; we just live the consequences of it.” - Dr. Lucretia Berry “It does take miracles to intersect and disrupt the system.” - Dr. Lucretia Berry “We all collectively impact each other. We don’t live in a vacuum.” - Dr. Lucretia Berry “If you have the opportunity to contribute and cultivate and create a neighborhood that resonates love for everyone, wouldn’t you want to do that?” - Dr. Lucretia Berry “Our silence aligns with our complicity.” - Dr. Lucretia Berry “Lies don’t mind being loud.” - Dr. Lucretia Berry “We do have to be conduits of love and truth.” - Dr. Lucretia Berry “Silence allows the lies to be loud and obnoxious and wrong… and attractive.” - Dr. Lucretia Berry “Shed the lies. Lean into the truth.” - Dr. Lucretia Berry “When we talk about race, the Holy Spirit is always in the room.” - Jill E.

DARK MYSTERIES Tuesday and Friday at 2am CET - Wednesday and Friday at 1pm CET. This program is hosted by Madeleine d'Este. This week, Madeleine talks about the book "What Lies Between Us" by John Marrs.

 It has been a heavy few weeks here in the United States, as our country as been rocked by the murder of George Floyd, and people have taken to the streets and to social media to express their anger – and also to listen and to learn from one another. Maybe you’ve felt anxious, overwhelmed, heartbroken, confused, humbled, frustrated, or scared. Or maybe, like me, you’ve felt ALL of that. That’s why I felt it was so important to continue our conversation about racism on the podcast this week by inviting back two women who have profoundly impacted my life and taught me so much over the past year, Dr. Lucretia Berry of First Name Basis (http://firstnamebasis.org/) podcast.  I got to know these two brilliant mothers and anti-racism educators when they each came on the podcast last year (epsiode 113 (https://3in30podcast.com/captivate-podcast/113-teach-kids-about-racism/) ), and I’m so grateful that our friendships have deepened since that time and they have continued to teach me "off the air" about these super important topics that are dramatically impacting our country right now. Because we have a relationship of trust, I have been able to ask them my uncomfortable and uninformed questions, and having those heartfelt conversations has taught me so much and, really, changed my life. Today, I am asking them YOUR questions, which I’ve gathered from emails and messages I received after these two ladies came on the show. I grouped similar questions together, and then chose THREE that we will focus on today: 1) If children aren't "color blind," why don't my children ever describe people by the color of their skin? 2) I have a Black friend who says he/she has not experienced racism, so it’s hard for me to believe what I hear about racism in the news. Should I listen to my friend, or should I listen to the voices of the media? 3) Is ‘reverse racism’ real? If you are interested in seeing the video of the three of us talking together and hear our entire conversation, which was actually an hour long, I have posted that on YouTube (https://youtu.be/8MVRbb1OIoU) . As you listen to this episode, I hope that you will imagine that I am inviting you into my home to sit with me and be taught by two of my dear friends. That is truly how I think of all 3 in 30 episodes, but especially this one, and I’m so grateful to be part of a community where we genuinely listen, learn, and seek together. Major Takeaways 1) Children won’t discuss what they don’t have the language or the permission to describe. Give them the language by teaching them about melanin and describing the different hues of humanity, and try not to react uncomfortably to conversations about race with your children. 2) Listen to people's experiences and anecdotes, but also dig into the research and the history of systemic racism in this country, and remember that this is not just about overt discriminatory acts; it’s also woven into our country’s major institutions and policies and the way they are enforced. 3) "Racial prejudice" is real and can be harbored by anyone of any race, which is not okay. But the concept of “reverse racism” is not legitimate because racism is "prejudice plus the systemic power to protect or reinforce that prejudice."  Next Actions!

Meet Lucretia Berry. She has a PhD, rocked a TedTalk, is raising three beautiful daughters and has been called to create and cultivate racial healing through anti-racism education. Lucretia is the co-founder of Brownicity and the author of What Lies Between Us. Lucretia’s story will help you pay attention to the Holy Spirit’s leading and not be ruled by doubt but belief in your own story. She has experienced God’s transformation and revelation in every area of her life so it could be God’s story and not her own. Lucretia knows sometimes Jesus changes your direction to get you to your promised land.

As people around the country prepare to celebrate Mother's Day, we contemplate the reality that U.S. women are having fewer children than ever before. What are the social conditions and personal decisions leading to this development, and how does it change our concepts of family and even of womanhood? We speak with Jenny Brown, organizer with National Women's Liberation and author of Birth Strike: The Hidden Fight Over Women's Work; Nayomi Munaweera, author of Island of a Thousand Mirrors and What Lies Between Us; and Grace Talusan, author of The Body Papers. Then we lighten it up with comics Diane Amos, a mom and grandmother (and the internationally renowned Pine Sol Lady), and Lisa Geduldig, an honorary Jewish mother. They'll be performing Thursday night at Ashkenaz, along with comic moms Emily van Dyke, Karinda Dobbins and Brandi Brandes. The post Four Non-Moms (and one who is) appeared first on KPFA.
