Giving Up Whiteness: Interview with Jeff James (Ep 49) by Resist and Restore: a spiritual life podcast

Interview with author and friend Jeff James. Rachel interviews Jeff on his book “Giving Up Whiteness: One Man’s Journey.” They speak about the history of racist structures in the United States, how whiteness affects us today, how to divest from whiteness, and more. With thoughtful anecdotes from his Appalachian upbringing, Jeff shares his journey on learning how to be anti-racist.

Also in this episode, the pastors respond to talkback on a blog post of Jonny’s. Later, they tell us what they’ve been watching in the ending segment of Spiritual Show and Tell: Encanto, Don’t Look Up, and The Kominsky Method.
