    Aug 12 2020
    Welcome to the GRIT podcast - Getting Real; Immersed in Truth. We're starting with a 5-part series titled Coversations in Black & White. This is episode one where I talk to my good friend Missy about raising her adopted daugther from Africa and how it affects her view on racism and racial injustice in America.

    I put the link to the first video of the series Missy mentioned her church (NONAChurch) presented called Won’t you be my Neighbor

    I also added the link to the youtube video by Christy Gior the white mom who cares for her black daughter’s hair.

    And finally, if you would like to support Bill and Missy’s mission to reach high school students with the hope of Christ give here or give.cru.org/0388834.

    Welcome to the GRIT podcast - Getting Real; Immersed in Truth.

    We're continuing our 5-part series titled Coversations in Black & White. In episode 2, I talk to Tate, Missy's oldest son, about how his relationship with his adopted sister from Africa, led him to become an ally, advocate, and activist for people of color.

    There are groups forming on Social Media and locally that are committed to continuing the conversation on race and racial reconciliation. Participating in one that has people of color in them provides for a well-rounded discussion. I’ve listed suggested authors to read.

    Tate recommends anything by the following authors:

    W.E.B. Dubois The book I’m currently listening to is The Soul Of Black Folk. Although published in 1903, it is relevant to today’s observations on race and American History.

    The book Tate is reading Toni Morrison The Source Of Self-RegardBetween Me And The World Ta-Nehisi Coates

    White Fragility: Why It's So Hard For White People To Talk About Racism By Robin DiAngelo

    I also Recommend:
    LaTasha Morrison - Be The Bridge
    Ken Wystma - The Myth Of Equality

    Other reading that would be valuable relating to the plight of Native Americans:
    The Other Slavery: The Uncovered Story Of Indian Enslavement In America Andrés Reséndez

    We're continuing our 5-part series titled Coversations in Black & White. This is episode 3 of our 5-part series Conversations in Black & White. In this episode, I chat with Colleen, a white woman raising brown children.

    What does a white woman raised in rural America teach her brown multi-ethnic children about racism? What concerns does she share with black mothers? I'll ask these questions and more on GRIT Podcast-Getting Real; Immersed in Truth.

    Since this interview, Colleen and Mo are off to another divine assignment in New York City, where Mo will be a church planting catalyst. Please pray God’s mercy, grace and blessing over them.

    How does a person who is raised to dislike other races and another who was distrusting of white people find each other? How does a person change their perspective from that of their family of origin? How should brothers and sisters in Christ respond to racism? These questions and more we’ll explore While Getting Real immersed in Truth. The theme of Redemption is weaved all throughout Ken and Gigi’s story. It’s visible in they’re personal stories and in they’re story as a couple. They have seen what God can do and how the love of Christ can change hearts. I will pray alongside them and ask you to join me as we pray for opened eyes, changed hearts, healing for each other, our country, and around the world.

    On June 12, 1967 Loving V. Virginia Supreme Court ruling legalized interracial marriage in America. People around the world celebrate June 12 as Loving Day. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/06/10/loving-day-june-12-marks-supreme-court-interracial-marriage-decision/5326018002/

    What’s the connection between and our minds and physical movement? How did my trainer help me and his other clients focus on movement and our mental well-being during quarantine? We’ll explore these things and more while Getting Real Immersed in Truth.

    2020 has been a year of stressful and even traumatic events. Natural disasters, Covid19, more people becoming aware of racism and racial injustice, the loss of normalcy, death of beloved icons in history, athletics and the arts, political divisiveness, our polarized country, and sadly Polarization as Christians. Many of us are on autopilot. Just trudging through trying to get through the week, the day, and for some, the hour. Many of us are anxiously waiting for 2020 to be over, in hopes that things will improve. Jeremiah 30:17 says "But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,’ declares the LORD."

    Today I’m talking to Jeremy Miller - Owner/operator of Redzone Fitness and Training Center. He has a Masters’s degree in Business and a Bachelors’s degree in Exercise and Nutrition. Jeremy has been a fitness trainer for nine years.

    One thing I like to say is if you have health problems or a chronic illness please see your physician before starting any workout. Remember, if you have health problems or a chronic illness please see your physician before starting any workout.

    Welcome G.R.I.T Podcast Getting Real Immersed in Truth Intersecting hard conversations with the gospel. We seek and speak the truth about what’s going on around us. I am your host Robrenna Redl. As we've mentioned in previous episodes, 2020 has brought difficulties and challenges at a rapid pace and in a consistent manner. It seems like events continue to overwhelm us. Many of us have experienced quite a bit of loss, uncertainty, and financial hardship. These experiences may lead us to wonder why. Why am I going through this? We may ask, does God see us? Does he hear us? Some of us sit in the truth God is Sovereign, while others may experience anger, and frustration towards God. And you what that’s okay. The stress many of us are under has caused emotional pains and heartache. How do we process our roller coaster of emotions right now and move toward the promise of hope?
