Welcome to Madang!
Madang is the outdoor living room of the world. Here we invite you to sit and tune into unreserved, remarkable conversations with renowned authors, leaders, public figures, and scholars on religion, culture, and everything in between.
This is the 30th episode of Madang, in which I converse with Terence Lester about his latest book, All God's Children: How Confronting Buried History Can Build Racial Solidarity. The Rev. Dr. Lester is a minister, speaker, community activist, author, and founder of Love Beyond Walls, a not-for-profit organization focused on poverty awareness and community mobilization. He received his PhD in Interdisciplinary Studies from Union Institute and University. His campaigns on behalf of the poor—including #LoveSinksIn—have been featured in USA Today, Black Enterprise Essence, and Reader's Digest. They have been viewed by millions of people globally on The Today Show, Good Morning America, CBS News, NBC, Upworthy, and "The Bright Side" with Katie Couric. His books include When We Stand, I See You, Getting Past Stuck, Simple Prayers for Hurting People, and Identity Theft.
On this episode, Lester talks with me about All God's Children, racial solidarity, implicit bias, God as justice, critical race theory, and much more.
