“Rescuing Black Folx From White Jesus” with Alicia Crosby Mack

In this last episode of the Juneteenth Drop, I speak to Justice Educator, Activist, Minister, and my personal funny joke texter, Alicia Crosby Mack.  Alicia and I have a engaging conversation about Black Theology and the Black Church.  We unpack if what we think about with the term theology which includes imagination and creativity doesn't necessary fit what we have experienced growing up in the Black Church.  Those ideals seem to rest on fear and intimidation. The conversation also touches on the importance of expanding our lexicon and imagination around what we name as the black church, good religion, and bad religion. We also tackle controversial topic, how the Church has failed the Black Community.
