#bandylee #thedangerouscaseofdonaldtrump #inauguration2021
Welcome back to Advent Next a theological podcast curated for curious faith discussion. This week, I wanted to bring on a guest who could provide insights into the riots that happened on Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021. What have been the consequences, causes, and cures of this type of violence? I am honored to have on as my guest, Dr. Bandy X. Lee American Psychiatrist with her M.D. and M.Div who is the author of “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump,” which is a compilation of 37 psychiatrists and mental health experts that assess the dangerousness of the president. She is also the author of a text on “Violence: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Causes, Consequences, and Cures.”
On this episode of Advent Next, she provides insight into how ethics inform her approach to medicine and her public participation. She also discusses insights from both her books on the milieu in which violence is created and factors that can either increase or reduce harm. Lastly, she discusses the challenges she has faced in speaking according to her conscience and where she derives her strength to move forward when facing opposition from within and without.
You can follow our guest today Dr. Bandy X. Lee, on Twitter @BandyXLee1 and I would highly recommend reading her book “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump,” “Violence: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Causes, Consequences, and Cures,” and her newest book “Profile of a Nation.”

Merry Christmas and welcome back to Advent Next, a theological podcast curated for curious faith discussions. Today we have Dr. Roy Gane, Professor of Hebrew Bible and Ancient Near Eastern Languages to give us some cultural and religious context of the religious and political climate during the time of Jesus’ birth. I wanted to go back to the first century and see if there are any parallels we could draw from the time of the birth of Christ and the political and religious turmoil facing us today.

The Color of Compromise: The Complicity of Racism in the Church (Jemar Tisby)

#colorofcompromise #racialinjustice #socialgospel
Welcome back to Advent Next a theological podcast curated for curious faith discussion. This week we are honored to talk with Jemar Tisby, author of the Color of Compromise, a book that discusses the complexity and complicity of the Christian church in America and the history of its relationship to race and racism.
To be black and Christian in America is a complex identity, one in which the unity we all could share in our common faith is divided by the active and passive responses to racial injustice. As one of my favorite quotes from this show iterates, “We can’t talk about reconciliation unless we are at least first truthful about the history of race in America generally and racism in the church specifically.”
This interview will be part of a larger docu-podcast project with NAD that will speak to the history of race in the Adventist Church so please tuned for updates on that project and for now, enjoy a tidbit of this conversation.
You can follow our guest today Jemar Tisby, on Twitter and Instagram @jemartisby. I would highly recommend reading his book “The Color of Compromise” for a more in-depth look at this discussion and you preorder his upcoming book “How to Fight Racism,” for practical tools addressing racial injustice.

#domesticviolence #domesticviolenceawarenessmonth #sexualassault
Welcome back to Advent Next a theological podcast curated for curious faith discussion. It is the month of October so the theme of the next few broadcasts will be on Domestic violence, sexual assault, and the role of the church. Our beliefs and our theology DOES make a difference when it comes to a person staying silent about their abuse, or speaking up and taking steps to move towards safety. Just to give you all a few statistics, to help place these conversations in context, 1 in 3 women who are victims of homicide, that’s one third of all women who are murdered are killed by their intimate partners. The number of American troops killed in Afghanistan and Iraq between 2001 and 2012 was 6,488. The number of American women who were murdered by current or ex male partners during that time was 11,766. That’s nearly double the amount of casualties lost during war. 1 in 5 women will be victims of sexual assault in their lifetime and half a million are victims of sexual assault in the U.S. every year.
So in honor of October as the month of domestic violence awareness month, I brought in Dr. Steve Tracy professor of Ethics at Phoenix Seminary to discuss a Biblical point of view on sexual and domestic violence, and the Church’s role in helping the healing journey of a survivor.
Dr. Tracy is the author of the book Mending the Soul: Understanding and Healing Abuse. He has spent over 15 years ministering in the Congo, which (according to the CDC) is rape capital of the world. Dr. Tracy and His wife Celestia Tracy both work to provide resources to ministries and churches to help them find healing in Christ. You can find out more about their ministry and resources at mendingthesoul.org
