Intersections with Phil Allen, Jr. Episode:  004; Courage is Contagious: The ‘Good Trouble’ of White Allyship Airdate:   October 26, 2020 Length:    1:20:00 Guest(s):  Pastor Bobby Harrison, The Church We Hope For In this week’s episode of Intersections with Phil Allen, Jr., host Phil Allen and guest Pastor Bobby Harrison of The Church We Hope For discuss the support given by white allies to social justice issues that resulted in Black protests around the country this year. When Pastor Harrison, who is white, arrived at the intersection of race, culture and theology, he found himself standing in metaphorical heavy traffic, a place where the gospel of equality was not widely welcomed. A man with an abiding commitment to the challenge of justice and equality, Harrison shares his message and story with Intersections in this week’s episode “Courage is Contagious: The ‘Good Trouble’ of White Allyship.” Harrison is co-founder with Inés Velásquez-McBryde of The Church We Hope For (https://thechurchwehopefor.com/), a growing southern California-based, multi-ethnic online house of worship. The pastor is also featured in Allen’s documentary, “Open Wounds,” a story of generational trauma and its impact on Allen’s South Carolina family.
