Reclaiming Your Faith, Dismantling Discrimination within American Christianity with Colleen Batchelder, Ph.D.
Dr. Colleen Batchelder is an outspoken advocate against racism and discrimination in the American Church. Her dissertation, “Exvangelical: Why Millennials and Generation Z are Leaving the Constraints of White Evangelicalism” not only raised eyebrows but elicited hate mail from her seminary and community. In this episode we talk about how to cultivate your own faith practices, keeping our identity intact in the face of adversity, social justice in the American church, and standing up for each other’s rights. She is seen by many of her conservative counterparts as scandalous, but to others, she may just be the beacon of light we’ve been looking for.
