How Far to the Promised Land with Rev. Dr. Esau McCaulley
b'On this episode of Footnotes, join me as I delve into an enlightening conversation with the esteemed author Rev. Dr. Esau McCaulley, discussing his highly anticipated new book\\xa0"How Far to the Promised Land."\\xa0\\n\\nEpisode Highlights:\\xa0\\n\\nWe talk about how Black Christians in white evangelical spaces get "pushed out, burned out, or sell out" and how McCaulley has endured in his place of work\\xa0\\n\\nHow he thinks about his interracial marriage in view of the historic and ongoing Black experience with racism\\xa0\\n\\nWhat he teaches his biracial children about racial identity and the role of police in the midst of anti-Black police brutality\\xa0\\n\\nMcCaulley gets on his soapbox about an issue that\'s at the forefront of his attention right now\\n\\nMy endorsement: In his latest book,\\xa0How Far to the Promised Land, Rev. Dr. Esau McCaulley says we are people made of "trauma and miracles." In this memoir you will see evidence of both as he relates the difficulties of his childhood alongside the resilient and caring community that ushers him into his destiny. A brisk and engaging narrative full of practical and spiritual wisdom,\\xa0How Far to the Promised Land\\xa0is a revelatory look at the U.S. South, race, poverty, and the strength needed not only to live with one\'s past but make peace with it.\\n\\nGet the book:\\xa0How Far to the Promised Land\\nSubscribe to my Substack:\\xa0JemarTisby.Substack.com\\xa0\\nGet your merch:\\xa0JusticeTakesSide.com\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
