From the Faith in a Fresh Vibe Podcast
#12 – Racialized Trauma, Protest, and the Hope for Future Justice with Dr. Monetta Bailey
We cap off Season 2 with this episode where Dr. Monetta Bailey, professor of sociology at Ambrose University, and I share our thoughts on racialized trauma and protest. We also ask, is there hope for change in the face of anti-racist protests? Is justice available to all? We drill down on the issue of cultural and corporate prejudice and share a candid conversation about our experience with racism, why we’re hopeful (or not), and where that leaves us going forward.

Membership Decline Post-COVID for Churches
5 years ago I posted this article as a reflection. I've revamped it and now ask, what will church membership look like post-COVID? I have a hunch. Purely a guess, but 25-50% membership decline. Not everyone, but as a whole. We're noticing how little we need the...
