Blurred Lines – Words of hope from Black Lives Matter advocate AND police officer, Alisha Zellner

As a police officer and black woman, Corporal Alisha Zellner speaks candidly about what it feels like to live in two worlds. During a time in our history when outspoken advocates for change are rising up and taking to the streets, Alisha took her emotions about racial tension and demand for change to the streets…literally.

Logging 564 miles on her bike, Alisha initially set out on her own but quickly gained a group of followers who wanted to make a statement in a way that promoted mental AND physical health. Alisha chronicled her journey, while challenging followers to think beyond themselves and look back at what history has taught us.

This podcast is incredibly inspiring, due in large part, to Alisha’s positive outlook. Her message of love and acceptance is one everyone needs to hear! Alisha’s story has been picked up by magazines and radio stations across the nation. She is pursuing her Masters in Social Work, loves biking on the Colorado trails and is using her platform to create positive and lasting change.

Racism, Christianity, and Mental Health with Dr. Antipas Harris

All Network Episodes, Black Lives Matter, Mental Health News Radio

Join Kristin as she speaks with Dr. Antipas Harris about how a growing number of black youth is leaving the church due to the inherent racism within our modern-day Christian culture. Hear as Antipas speaks about how we need to reevaluate how we think of Christianity. As a Practical Theologian, his book, “Is Christianity the White Man’s Religion?” addresses how, while many may see one thing in church, the Bible is actually full of diversity. Perhaps Christianity itself isn’t the problem, but rather our current vision of what Christianity is.

Dr. Antipas L. Harris holds a dual appointment as president-dean of Jakes Divinity School (JDS) and associate pastor at The Potter’s House (TPH), both located in Dallas, Texas. A brilliant thinker and prolific writer, Harris is advancing the vision of Bishop and Chancellor T.D. Jakes, founder of the fully-accredited, online seminary. Responding to the growing need for cutting-edge ecclesial leadership that transcends denominational lines, Harris’ mandate is to prepare today’s leaders for tomorrow’s Church.
Dr. Antipas writes for the general faith inquirer and does research to inform theological education with new insights to prepare ministers for leadership in a complex and often complicated world.
Boldly bearing witness to faith in the public square, Dr. Harris is, without question, a public theologian. His latest book, Is Christianity the White Man’s Religion? speaks to the personal relevance of Christianity and dares the Church to define – or re-define – itself as ordered by Scripture, not polity. Well regarded in the board room and the ‘hood, Dr. Antipas’ words often have a “Pied Piper” effect; audiences sense his authenticity and respond to his calls to action. With a unique blend of biblical wisdom and sagacious humor, Harris says what the Church needs to hear and writes what the world needs to know.

David Wood: Tough Conversations About Money and Race –TPS420

All Network Episodes, Black Lives Matter, The Prosperity Show

David Wood is a high-performance coach for executives, entrepreneurs, and teams and the author of “Get Paid For Who You Are.” He was nominated to the Transformational Leadership Council alongside such thought leaders as Don Miguel Ruiz, John Gray, and Marianne Williamson. David believes the tough conversations we avoid are our doorways to confidence, success, and even love – in both work and life. In this episode, we talk about having tough conversations about money and race.

Highlights:

David tells us how he decided to focus on tough conversations when he worked in corporate and eventually learned about things like emotional intelligence and other personal growth techniques.
When conversations are looming, we tend to avoid them.
With the CARE model David uses, the first step is to ask, “What is your hope for this conversation, what is your fear?”
I ask David what keeps people from talking about money. I use an example of when a husband racks of credit card charges but is afraid to tell his wife. He shows us how to use the CARE model in this case.
There is often a fear of loss.
We spend time talking about difficult conversations about race relations.
David shares his position as a privileged white male and what he has to do in order to have the race conversation.
It’s only in the past few weeks that David has been developing awareness about what goes on for blacks.
David is trying to understand his own whiteness, privilege, and unconscious bias.
