Mixed Blessing
"So what are you?" Chandra Crane knows what it's like to get that question. She has a Thai birth father, a European American mother, and an African American father who adopted her when she was five. With this mixed multiethnic and multicultural background, she has keenly felt the otherness of never quite fitting in. Where do people of mixed ethnicity belong? Those of us with multiethnic backgrounds may have pain surrounding our mixed heritage. But we also have the privilege and potential to serve the Lord through our unique experiences. Join Chandra as she explores what Scripture and history teach us about ethnicity and how we can bring all of ourselves to our sense of identity and calling. She'll interview guests, have lively and honest discussions and help us to find out how a mixed identity can be a blessing to you, others, and the world around you.
