Arline, Marissa and Raven

Published: June 13, 2022, midnight

b'Community manager, Arline, guest hosts. This week\\u2019s guests are a couple of fabulous black women who\\u2019ve come a long way in their journeys away from white evangelicalism. They\\u2019ve known one another for over a decade and their conversation is both information and so much fun. Marissa grew up in church and loved it as a kid. As a college student, however, she found herself in a ministry that was a little bit \\u201cculty.\\u201d And then as an adult she watched all the white friends she\\u2019d served alongside fall for a new savior, Donald Trump. Raven grew up in a \\u201cculturally Christian\\u201d home but dove head-first into campus ministry in college. By 2012, when George Zimmerman murdered Trayvon Martin, she began to see whiteness, not Jesus, as the true god of people she\\u2019d known for years. Marissa and Raven are currently in different spiritual places but neither can go back to the Christianity they knew as young adults. Their lives are freer and fuller than they\\u2019ve ever been before, and they see that it is good. Interact Full episode show notes including quotes and recommendations
