Voting From the Left: A Conversation With Stephanie Brown

Ana and Nicole join me to discuss navigating their mixed-race relationship, the challenges it presents, and what choosing love really means.

Ana and Nicole join me to discuss the parallels between the last 4 years with Trump in office, and the patterns of an abusive relationship. We also discuss moving forward with those who supported Trump, and what is required for true healing and unity to happen. 

Sierra Clark, a storyteller who works in journalism, joins me. She is an Anishinaabe woman from the Grand Traverse Bay region of Michigan, and sat down with me to discuss how White people can be good allies, the need to amplify the voices of Indigenous journalists, what is lost when we only see the world through a White lens, and what is gained when we choose not to.

Jen Hindley and I discuss the podcast name change, and the unexpected gifts 2020 has given us.

Ana Evans joins me to discuss her "pursuit of whiteness" as a POC in the White evangelical church. We discuss the difference between people and the institutions they are a part of, and why the lived experiences of POC in primarily White spaces supercedes whatever the intention of those spaces may be. We also touch on the challenges ahead of us as we grapple with all 2020 has thrown at us, and all that may be in store.

MJ Corkern joins me to discuss her upcoming novel, "Hurrican Season," launching on Amazon in October 15. She shares why she wrote the book, who it's for, and why art matters.

My good friend, Bob, joins me to discuss the election, and why a vote for Biden is a vote to bring us closer to the kind of world we want to live in. We discuss undecided voters, the role White evangelicalism plays in where we are and where we might be going, and the role a Biden administration might play in helping America heal from the trauma of the last four years.   The "explicit" rating is solely for the use of f-bombs. 

In this episode, Rose Gwynn stops by to share why being pro-life and voting for Joe Biden are compatible choices. We discuss how we define pro-life, and what a true pro-life perspective looks like.

Suzanne joins me to discuss her newest book, Sex With God. Her book is relevant to anyone trying to form a healthy sexual ethic after leaving environments where sex and sexuality were not discussed in a healthy way. We also explore the topic of sexual abuse within the church, and how developing an honest and edifying conversation around sex will help reduce the vulnerability of those often targeted, and Suzanne shares with us where the title of her book came from.
