The Profaned Ordained Podcast
Michael and Liz Simmons
This podcast is about belonging and about our humanity. It’s about throwing off the weight of religious scarcity and finding ourselves invited into the radical inclusion of Jesus. In this invitation we find that all is sacred.
Episode 11 - Growing Tomatoes
The bigness of racism can feel insurmountable and can paralyze and burn out real action. So we must tend the soil beneath our feet, the garden we’re already standing in. We must remember that antiracist work is the work of God, the gospel, but this is mostly new to the White church. So as we do the work let us be as a tree firmly planted yet feel the discomfort of being out on a limb.
