White Privilege Continued (Episode 18)

James, David and Brad spend a week contemplating episode 17 on white privilege with Phil Butler and dive deeper. If privilege is invisible how do we put our finger on it? We talk about David's experience with the "Privilege Walk" activity in school, and how the act ignited a serious change in his world view of power dynamics in this country. Also what were we not taught in school about the history of race in this country? Who decided whether African Americans received property, jobs etc. and access to education?

Community (Episode 14)

Brad, James and David talk about the importance of intentional conversation, community and maintaining adult friendships. As we get older, it seems like it takes more intention and effort to maintain friendships. We are called to live in community, so why don't we?
