Summary

Ken Kemp is not the person you'd expect to be leading small groups and table talks helping White folks understand the histories of racism and strategies to combat it. He's a White male Boomer. Someone born into evangelical culture. A guy who went through seminary and was almost ordained twice. But late in life he had an awakening through visits to India, South Africa, and via friendships and events that woke him up to the racialized dimensions of White Evangelicalism. He shares his story with Brad and talks about how other White people can do the work to become anti-racist.

0:00.0	Hello, welcome to Straightwide American Jesus, hosted in partnership with the
0:16.9	Cap Center at the University of California, Santa Barbara. My name is Brad
0:21.2	O'Nishi, Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Skidmore College.
0:25.2	And it's been a couple weeks.
0:26.6	We had last week off, just due to grading and AAR and some other things that were going on. And I'm back this week with an interview with my friend
0:35.2	Ken Kemp. Ken is the host of the Beached White Male podcast and has a great story to
0:40.7	share with us. Before we get to that, I just want to make an
0:44.7	announcement about what's coming up for our podcast. We are going to go on hiatus for
0:51.0	new interview episodes until February. In place of those new
0:56.5	episodes I'm going to be re-releasing our season one slate of shows. Many of you've reached out about these shows and wondering where you could find
1:06.5	them. Well, in response I wanted to re-release them. We have a bunch of great content, including some of our most popular episodes. An episode titled 81% WTF which helps to explain it's why 81% of evangelicals voted for Trump.
1:24.0	It's really where we started with the show.
1:26.3	We also have an interview with Randall bomber on the history of the religious
1:29.9	right, interviews with people like Catherine Stewart on Christian nationalism, and so on and so forth.

1:42.4	And if you're new to our show and you're wondering,
1:44.6	hey, I love your content, I'm not sure where to start,
1:47.4	this would be a great place to get going.
1:50.5	If you joined us in the last couple of months and you want to know where our show originated you want to hear more about Dan and I story and you just want to sort of get to the core of why we started this show well these episodes are really for you.
2:04.0	We'll be back in February with our interview schedule and with some updates about some new
2:10.0	series and new docu series that we are going to be developing and we will be continuing
2:15.8	however on Fridays with our weekly roundup so you won't be hearing anything new
