Bruce and Terrell discuss the disconnect present in white Evangelical Christianity between scriptural beliefs and sociopolitical alignments. Terrell shares his experience transitioning from the conservative African American church experience of his youth to the white fundamentalist landscape he encountered in academia. He also discusses the period of time he spent working as a police officer, and how it did not protect him from harassment by law enforcement. They discuss recent police violence against Black and Brown people, and how American policing and society at large are built to uphold white supremacy.To wind down, they discuss Dr. Who nostalgia as a comfort watch and escape from reality, their shared enjoyment of Bruno Mars, and ask the hard-hitting question: is David Bowie the only white musician?Thanks for listening, please subscribe, like, and share!Connect with Terrell Carter:Website: https://terrellcarter.net Twitter: https://twitter.com/tcarterstl Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tcarterstl/ Preorder Taking Apart Bootstrap Theology: Gospel of Generosity and Justice: https://www.judsonpress.com/Products/J289/taking-apart-bootstrap-theology.aspx --------------------------------------------Become a patron and support Bruce’s Podcast making on Patreon.https://www.patreon.com/breyeschowListen to all of Bruce's Podcast tomfoolery:Spreaker (MAIN): http://bit.ly/brcspreakerApple iTunes: http://bit.ly/brcfriendsGoogle Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3aiYPa7Audible: https://adbl.co/2RBLpiFSpotify: https://spoti.fi/3uFnXPRiHeartRadio: https://ihr.fm/3s4CgMcYou can also view the unedited video recordings on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/breyeschowConnect with Bruce on the socialsWebsite: http://www.reyes-chow.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/breyeschowInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/breyeschowFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/breyeschowBruce's dogs would be very happy if you subscribed to and rated this podcast and they would be over the moon if you followed, liked, tagged, and shared this podcast on —Twitter: https://twitter.com/brcandfriendsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/brcandfriendsFacebook:
