Summary

Whew, Chhiiillleee! Dr. A is going there in an unfiltered episode that’s bringing the intersectionality of racism, diversity and the church into the light.

In this gut-wrenching episode, Dr. Anita Phillips contends with racial trauma in the church as a form of betrayal. A brave guest reveals the emotional and spiritual wounds she suffered from membership in a racially toxic faith community, and Pastor David Swanson, founding pastor of New Community Covenant Church and author of "Rediscipling the White Church", stops by to model safety, clarify the need for change, and speak the unfiltered truth about moving from cheap diversity to true solidarity.

“Honoring, prioritizing and centering the lived realities of people of color within the church is for everybody’s flourishing. That’s how good God is!” -Pastor David Swanson

0:17.0	Hey everybody. This is Dr. Anita and welcome back to In The Light. We are on episode 8 of our 10 episode season only two more to go and it is really flying by. But I hope you've been blessed so far and that you have every intention of hanging on for the entire ride.
0:31.0	You all went as crazy for our episode with Priscilla Shire as I did. I mean
0:36.2	seriously how much wisdom did we walk away with? She shared so much but her

0:58.2	okay?
0:58.7	It's running down her hair onto the collar
1:01.0	of her purple pants suit. It is hiding her in battle like the
1:05.0	dew of hermon on Mount Zion in that anointed no. The Lord has bestowed her a
1:10.9	blessing even life evermore and glory to God for that let it be upon us all and
1:17.3	if you didn't get any of that joke I'm gonna need you to step up your Bible reading
1:21.8	okay okay but seriously I'm going to need you to step up your Bible reading, okay?
1:23.2	Okay. But seriously, that no makes room for joy.
1:28.6	It makes room for unexpected surprises,
1:31.0	and most importantly, it makes room for change. It's hard to change and
1:36.6	grow when you don't have the room and sometimes a note is required to make the
1:42.3	room. I'm so grateful to her for that insight and
1:46.4	revelation. Priscilla said something else really important that speaks to our
1:51.6	topic for today. She urged us to live with an
1:55.2	eternal perspective. Recognizing that this earth is not our home should
2:01.7	inspire us to be concerned with what God is concerned about
