Greg Jarrell Interview PGE 115
<p>One of the means of helping to overcome white supremacy is for those of us who are white not only to learn to tell our own race story, but also to take over the responsibility of holding each other as white people accountable when we act and speak in ways that reveal our racial biases or that we are shaped by white supremacy beyond our awareness. As individuals we need to learn and train ourselves how to recognize and become more fully aware of when our thoughts, assumptions, words, and actions cause racial harm. We also need to be more willing to confront and correct other white people when they do the same. It helps to have white role models for this process.</p> <p>My guest for this episode provides such a role model. <a href="https://www.gregjarrell.com/">Greg Jarrell</a> is a cultural organizer with QC Family Tree in the Enderly Park neighborhood of Charlotte, North Carolina. He works with words and music to impact housing and neighborhood justice issues. Jarrell writes about theology and history and co-leads Carolina Social Music Club, a popular jazz band. He and his wife, Helms, are ordained ministers and are raising two sons.</p> <p>Greg is the author of two books that will be the focus of our conversation.

The Wendland-Cook Program with Joerg Reiger and Gab Lisi PGE 114
<p>This episode is a followup on my interview with <a href="https://www.joergrieger.com/">Professor Joerg Rieger</a>. The intent of all of Professor Rieger’s work, including the subject of my first interview with him about his book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Theology-Capitalocene-Identity-Solidarity-Dispatches-ebook/dp/B09RQ1S6QV/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3FK7QKSISKO88&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.guqYqRCq28GOZLmh2hdxwae5Iv5xUhtr1rb9BU1AA_E.YPulXDK3I86NuFESkak7DMaDCb9WBbIAsfdmR0RoPNY&dib_tag=se&keywords=Theology+in+the+capitalocene&qid=1771102992&sprefix=theology+in+the+capitalocene%2Caps%2C146&sr=8-1">Theology in the Capitalocene: Ecology, Identity, Class, and Solidarity</a>, is that theology should have an affect on one’s lifestyle and an impact on the world. In order to realize that intent, Professor Rieger established and is the founding Director of the Wendland-Cook Program in Religion and Justice.</p> <p><a href="https://www.religionandjustice.org/">The Wendland-Cook Program in Religion and Justice</a> is an interdisciplinary program located at Vanderbilt University Divinity School. Its focus is on issues of justice that arise at the intersection of religion, economics, and ecology. Founded in 2019 and supported by a generous gift from <a tabindex="0" href="https://www.religionandjustice.org/blog/barbara-wendland-legacy">Barbara Wendland</a>, the mission of the program is to develop resources and opportunities for students, scholars, clergy, and activists to envision and create a more just and sustainable world for all.</p> <p>In addition to being the founding Director of the Wendland-Cook Program, Professor Rieger is Distinguished Professor of Theology and The Cal Turner Chancellor’s Chair in Wesleyan Studies.</p> <p>Joining us in this interview is <a href="https://www.religionandjustice.org/all-leadership">Gab Lisi</a>.

Campus Minstry with Daniel and Sarah Patiño PGE 113
<p>Because of our nation’s commitment to capitalism and the desire to be technologically advanced and leaders in the global business market, across the political and theological spectrum, most parents are interested in and committed to having their children go to college/university. Those students are also enculturated into valuing and wanting to go to college/university. And because of the extensive increase in remote learning, around 61% of students in the United States enroll in college following high school. Also, because of the global economy, and because the colleges/universities in the United States are some of the best in the world, large numbers of international students seek to attend colleges/universities here.</p> <p>While things are continuously changing on college campuses, and while there are adults who attend college later in life, or those who attend after serving in the military, or those who attend graduate school, a constant for the majority of the population of colleges/universities, including international students, is the post-high school 18-24 year old student. For that age group who choose to attend college on a campus, it commonly means leaving home and relying on themselves for a myriad of decisions for the first time. Developing the self-discipline to navigate those decisions is a part of the maturing process. Having some sort of community to assist and provide support in this maturing process helps. For those students who have a religious faith, a campus ministry, commonly sharing the same faith as the student, provides that community and support.</p> <p>Because there is a constant in the student population related to age, there is a constant in both psychological and faith development. That provides a constant of experience in campus ministry over the years. However, due to challenges never faced by previous generations, campus ministry currently being provided on college/university campuses across our nation has substantively changed.</p> <p>My guest for this episode are here to help us understand those challenges and changes and to help give a deeper insight into campus ministry as it is happening now in our nation.</p> <p class="p1">Sarah and Daniel Patiño lead the Seek Christian Community at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, or Virginia Tech, in Blacksburg, Virginia. Both Daniel and Sarah are graduates of Virginia Tech. To learn more about the Patiños and their ministry, visit <a href="https://vtseek.org/">www.vtseek.org.</a></p> <p class="p1">The intro and outro music for this episode is from a clip of a song called ‘Father Let Your Kingdom Come’ which is found on <a href="https://theportersgate.bandcamp.com/releases"><span class="s1"><i>The Porter’s Gate Worship Project Work Songs</i> album</span></a> and is used by permission by <a href="https://theportersgate.bandcamp.com/releases"><span class="s1">The Porter’s Gate Worship Project</span></a>.</p>
