Episode 265 - Bryan Jarrell: Growing Up in The Lost Cause




Crackers and Grape Juice show

Summary: "The Lost Cause had taught me that faith, particularly faith in Jesus and going to church, was an indispensable part of what it meant to be a good person. But now that very same faith which The Lost Cause had commended was forcing a decision which would impact my past, present, and future. If I kept my faith in The Lost Cause, I would be unable to preach the gospel to the woman sitting next to me. If I wanted to share the gospel with anyone who wasn’t white, I would have to abandon the secular faith of my ancestors. The two were irreconcilable."<br><br>Rev. Bryan Jarrell joins Jason and Teer to discuss the Lost Cause, statues in Richmond, and the moment his evangelical world was flipped upside down when he met the real-life consequences of the Stars and Bars.<br><br><a href="https://mbird.com/2020/06/under-robert-e-lees-shadow-growing-up-in-the-lost-cause/" rel="noopener">https://mbird.com/2020/06/under-robert-e-lees-shadow-growing-up-in-the-lost-cause/</a><br><br>Before you listen, do us a solid and help out the podcast.<br><br>Click over to <a href="http://www.crackersandgrapejuice.com" rel="noopener">http://www.crackersandgrapejuice.com</a>.
