Andrew Krinks has been on the podcast before and both times, he has managed to take a topic I have thought about often and deeply and add depth and breadth that I hadn’t yet considered. (His wife, Lindsey did the same thing for me with this conversation on homelessness.) The first time, Andrew and I talked about the embodied spiritual realities on death row, which is definitely worth the listen. And this time, we turn our attention to his new book, White Property, Black Trespass, which explores the connections between race, religion, and incarceration. The threads he pulls together, connecting systems most of us take for granted, supply ample fodder for questioning our current realities of policing, incarceration, and criminalization. In this conversation, Andrew invites us to set aside our paradigms and consider another way forward in light of the history and theology surrounding our current systems.
