My first podcast (S1E1: Racism,Schmacism) is barely a week old and here we are with TWO more high profile incidents involving black folks and white folks in the US. Racism and prejudice have, at their heart, a denial of the Imago Dei. […]
Originally posted October 12, 2017 on Twitter (back when we were only allowed 180 characters), my good friend Mike cut and pasted all 58 tweets from that day into one document. This is not just a ‘re-post’ – there’s a ton of […]
