Summary

Rasool Berry serves as teaching pastor at The Bridge Church in Brooklyn, New York. He also is the Director of Partnerships & Content Development with Our Daily Bread Ministries.  He hosts the Where Ya From? podcast which tells the stories of influencers at the intersection of faith and culture. He lives in Brooklyn, NY. 

In this episode, Rassol and I talk about a biblical theology of ethnic reconciliation and bring his to bear on the current conversation about race and racism in the church and America. We talk about reparations, systemic racism, how racism is in our cultural climate, affirmative action, and many other topics.

Theology in the Raw Conference - Exiles in Babylon

At the Theology in the Raw conference, we will be challenged to think like exiles about race, sexuality, gender, critical race theory, hell, transgender identities, climate change, creation care, American politics, and what it means to love your democratic or republican neighbor as yourself. Different views will be presented. No question is off limits. No political party will be praised. Everyone will be challenged to think. And Jesus will be upheld as supreme.
