Bret’s recent experience preaching in a Black church context and realizing, in real time, that his message was not landing as expected, sparks this discussion about the challenge of speaking across cultural divides.

The Micah Mobilizers are joined by Eric Nicolaysen, a Vineyard pastor and hospital chaplain in Des Moines, Iowa, as they reflect on code-switching, double consciousness, and the weight of communicating faithfully. How do we remain attentive to the Spirit without silencing ourselves—or others?
