Episode 075 - Rasool Berry

00:00 / 01:36:34

This episode was recorded in late December 2020, before the attacks on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Here’s my confession, I was just trying to keep up with my guest Rasool Berry on this episode (this is going to be a double-listen for me)! At the time of this recording, Rasool had just come off some big conversations surrounding Critical Race Theory (CRT) and the church. (And if that’s your interest, there are some great resources listed below where you can learn more and hear Rasool’s perspective and heart on the issue.) One of my goals for this conversation however, was to ask Rasool to take us another direction. Namely, what conversations and actions are most applicable as we explore racial injustice and theology.

Rasool is the teaching pastor at The Bridge Church in Brooklyn, NY. He has a degree in Africana Studies and Sociology from the University of Pennsylvania and is currently in seminary.
