Summary

A Part 2 of sorts to the latest Afro·Theo·Futurism episode. Brea is back, this time with Tyler continuing the conversation about the state of the modern church and where we go from here. Topics covered include worship, technology, the eurocentric desire to provide an ‘awesome’ church experience, church in the metaverse, and more. Brea Perry is a graduate of the University of North Carolina Wilmington and now a content distributor for The Witness BCC.
