White privilege. White cultural norms. White beauty standards. White noise. You're made to feel that your life doesn't matter, your opinions aren't valid, and your entire existence is too loud. It can feel like the whole world is telling you to shut up. To these forces, Ally Henny is here to say, “No. I am a loud Black woman, and I won't shut up.” Ally knows what it's like to navigate racism and racialized sexism, having spent most of her life in predominantly white spaces. She's not taking it anymore, and she's calling you to join her in resisting racism by speaking the truth–no matter the cost. In this compelling book, Ally tells her own story of finding her voice, pushing back against oppression, and embracing her unique perspective as a loud Black woman.

This year's Old Books with Grace Lent series, called “A Book that Changed Me,” offers four different conversations with guests on a book of their choice that changed them, made them think deeply about transformation, brought them closer to truth. Books can be mirrors—they can help us to consider ourselves in new light. Books invite us into conversation and reflection we would not have known to participate in without their guidance. Each of the guests in this series has chosen a book that invited them into reflection, remembrance, and self-knowledge. Each conversation is quite different—some more personal, others less—and the books span from the Middle Ages to the 1960s. The last guest of the series is Claude Atcho, who has chosen to talk about the novel The Picture of Dorian Gray by the witty, wonderful Oscar Wilde.  Claude Atcho resides in Charlottesville, VA where he lives with his family, serves as a pastor of Church of the Resurrection, and enjoys coaching his kids in basketball and soccer. In addition to his preaching and pastoral work, Claude speaks and writes about literature, film, music, and culture from a theological perspective. His writing has been featured at The Witness: A Black Christian Collective, Think Christian, and Christ and Pop Culture. His writing often lives at the intersection of theology, culture, and African American experience. He is the author of Reading Black Books: How African American Literature Can Make Our Faith More Whole and Just.

In this episode, Heather and Danté discuss something we often forget, that just as we have changed, we need to make room for others to grow and change too. Danté is open about the progression of his beliefs, and how he, as a Black man, has said things in the past about the Black experience that he regrets. Black literature was a major part of Danté's faith and growth experience, which is why his book is so heavily sourced by Black writers. Danté brings a passion to every conversation he enters, as well as an invitation to grow and learn together. You will be encouraged, enlightened, and challenged as you listen to Danté explain what it means to shout in the fire.   Guest Bio Danté Stewart is a writer and speaker whose voice has been featured on CNN, The Washington Post, Christianity Today, Sojourners, The Witness: A Black Christian Collective, Comment Magazine, and more. He is the author of the book Shoutin' in the Fire: An American Epistle.  Host Bio Heather Thompson Day is an associate professor of communication at Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Michigan.

Jemar attended the University of Notre Dame and joined Teach For America at the Mississippi Delta Corps, where he taught sixth grade and became the principal. He received his MDiv from Reformed Theological Seminary and is currently working toward his PhD in History at the University of Mississippi.  Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram Quote “We can either shrink back and demonstrate complicity in the face of racism or we can demonstrate courageous Christianity and confront it rather than compromise with racism.” Jemar Tisby is a historian, author, and leader seeking to make the house of God a more inclusive and welcoming place for everyone. He realizes it's not an easy feat, but he believes in the power of hope and his faith in fellow Christians to make a more equitable future possible.  In today's episode, we discuss Jemar's own experience with discrimination simply because of the color of his skin, America's ugly relationship with racism and its impact on the church in our country, and his book The Color of Compromise. We also talk about his time with Teach For America and how it further illustrated the importance of education as a solution to move forward in moments of change. Finally, our conversation ends on a hopeful note for the future, and a call, or plea, for Christians to be courageous to combat hate and inequality in the church.  New Episodes Added Every Tuesday!

And, ultimately, his decision to turn his back on white evangelicalism and to re-nourish and re-build his spirituality and identity as a Black man instead.Plus, all this gets Katherine and Paul asking: what does healthy religion look like?

When there is so much work that needs to be done even in those distinct identities who has the energy to take on more? Tyler Burns, VP of Brand and Story, joins Sandra Van Opstal in a reality check on why these questions are necessary for our BIPOC identity (if one even exists).

On January 6, 2021, as insurrectionists stormed the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. with a number of them waving flags declaring that "Jesus Saves!", it became clear that the fault lines in evangelical Christianity had become exposed for all to see, and that the Jesus being touted on these signs was a white, American, nationalistic version of the Messiah. Today's three guests, all on staff with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and part of its Multiethnic Initiatives department, are all IVP authors with recent books that seek either directly or indirectly to challenge the idea of the "white American Jesus" that is reflected in the words and actions of Christian nationalists such as those participating in the events of January 6th: Jonathan Walton (Twelve Lies that Hold America Captive); Steve Tamayo (Ethnic Identity), and Chandra Crane (Mixed Blessing). Hosted by producer Helen Lee, the episode features personal and honest stories from the publishing journeys of these three authors of color, as well as the ways in which their books will be used to challenge and inspire the next generation of Christian leaders this summer--and how you can be a part of the journey even if you're not a student.  About the Guests: Jonathan P. Walton is an area ministry director for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship's New York/New Jersey region. He previously served for ten years as director of the New York City Urban Project. He writes regularly for Huffington Post, medium.com, and is the author of three books of poetry and short stories.Steve Tamayo serves as a strategist for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, working in the Latino Fellowship and the Creative Labs. In these roles, he equips and resources InterVarsity's national pivot to online ministry. He is the showrunner for the podcasts Con Confianza and Ministry During the Disruption.Chandra Crane is a resource specialist for the multiethnic initiatives department of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and a member of the multiethnic Redeemer Church in Jackson, Mississippi. She has written for In All Things, The Well, and The Witness: A Black Christian Collective.

His new book, How to Fight Racism released January 2021! In this episode of The Ferment, Jemar introduces us to the humanity of Martin Luther King, Jr. that is often lost in his iconography. He and Adam dig into the context of some of King's most famously quoted doctrine and discuss the ways in which the soundbites don't fully match up with his beliefs and intentions, particularly the ideas of nonviolence and protest as a mechanism for change. This is an incredibly educational and challenging episode that calls for a lot of self-reflection and provides tangible steps towards action.   Show notes: Vineyard Worship's Song of the Month: “You Don't Have to Lose Heart” https://slinky.to/YouDontHaveToLoseHeart How to Fight Racism by Jemar Tisby https://amzn.to/3kae2h2 The Color of Compromise by Jemar Tisby https://amzn.to/3pDcGwz Radio Free Dixie by Timothy Tyson https://amzn.to/3pLke0w Prophetic Lament: A Call for Justice in Troubled Times by Soong-Chan Rah https://amzn.to/3bvUxMm The Witness, Inc https://www.thewitnessinc.com

The year 2020 was a strong reminder that racism is not a simple problem of the past, and it cannot be met with simple solutions. At its core, racism diminishes the image of God in people of color, keeping them from living in the fullness that was God's vision for humanity. How can we bring about true equity in our communities, churches, and in our nation? What are the practical steps that we can take now to bring about flourishing and reconciliation?Jemar Tisby, bestselling author of The Color of Compromise and president of The Witness: A Black Christian Collective, believes that racial reconciliation must be a relational effort grounded in self-awareness, and it must move beyond knowledge and ideas. In the fight against racism, Tisby sees the need for three essential components: awareness, relationships, and commitment. In his new book, How to Fight Racism, Tisby equips Christians with the tools needed to dismantle the systems and structures that keep people of color from flourishing.He joins Eddie and Chris to talk about his hope for the church to mobilize to action instead of complicity and passivity, the ways that we can use our money wisely to help bridge economic disparities, and the power of truth-telling and confession. He calls Christians to foster welcoming communities where people of color are not just offered a seat at the white table, but honored, respected, and uplifted as leaders made in the image of God.Follow Jemar Tisby on the web: https://jemartisby.com Check out Jemar's book How to Fight Racism hereOrder Jemar's book The Color of Compromise here

The daughter of a white mother and Thai birth father who was then adopted and raised by an African-American dad, Chandra experienced the pain of marginalization but then followed the prophetic call of God to write about her challenges so that others would benefit. In this honest, refreshing conversation, Chandra opens the door to understanding the mixed blessing of being a multiethnic person, and why a unique voice like hers needs to be reflected in the church today.About the Guest:Chandra Crane is a resource specialist for the multiethnic initiatives department of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and a member of the multiethnic Redeemer Church in Jackson, Mississippi. She has written for In All Things, The Well, and The Witness: A Black Christian Collective. She has spoken and led worship at several local and national conferences and has also participated in online discussions for Christianity Today. She is married to Kennan, a civil engineer, and they have two spunky daughters. Chandra is a fan of hot tea, crossword puzzles, Converse shoes, and science fiction.

Dante Stewart is a compelling prophetic voice within the emerging generation whose pen is as mighty as the sword. His Pentecostal upbringing has served him well. His writings have been published by Christianity Today, Fathom Magazine, Faithfully Magazine, Sojourners, and The Witness: A Black Christian Collective. I count Dante a dear friend and value his insights. True prophetic witness, when referring to Christ himself was about comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable. Dante speaks in that genuine prophetic tradition. Listen deeply and empathetically, and let his words touch your heart. Hear the depths of his heart for Christ and allow the Spirit to use those words and insights to bring you to a fresh appreciation for living the Cross-shaped life.

Jemar Tisby is a historian, writer, and speaker. His first book is The Color of Compromise: The Truth about the American Church's Complicity in Racism (Zondervan, 2019). The episode was recorded just after the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd. In that light, Jemar speaks about the history of racism in the American church, and of what it will take to move from complicity to courage for racial justice. Jemar is President of The Witness: A Black Christian Collective, and he is a cohost (with Tyler Burns) of the "Pass the Mic" podcast. Show note: Since the interview was recorded on May 28, 2020 (after the slaying of George Floyd), we were not able to talk about the important events that have taken place between that time and the release of the episode.
