The Breathing Room Podcast
Hi everybody and welcome to The Breathing Room. This is a space where people of color and faith can come together to have our lived experiences acknowledged, witness each other's journeys, and take a collective deep breath. Join Kevin Holland and others each week as we explore what being a person of color in a multi-cultural American Christian church has been and is like. These conversations will touch on the spiritual, relational, and socio-political realities that influence us and our faith communities. The goal of this podcast is that fewer of us will feel alone and unseen and that more of our stories will be understood, valued, and championed. This conversation might also help us move from awareness to action in promoting justice as Jesus and the prophets of old did. Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the cause of orphans. Fight for the rights of widows. Isaiah 1:17 (NLT)

On December 1st, 2020 at 12:20pm I got this DM on Facebook: Kevin, X here from the Y&Z Church. "I would really appreciate some time to chat with you about racial justice and the church. Even just to touch bases for a few minutes. I could really use some help calibrating my feelings and getting an action plan. I don't want to take a lot of your time, so whatever time you have would be very helpful. I am in desperate need of some guidance. I appreciate anything you can offer. Thanks!"
This podcast is designed to include as many people of color and faith as feel a need for this kind of crucial conversation and connection. Welcome!
