Resources
Below is a variety of books, articles, websites, and films for you to discern and dig deeper into the Bible and the human experience. We are black, brown, queer, trans, lost, and Christian; and God gives radical love to all of us. Sometimes, though, humans cannot see this in each other and this causes us to wrestle with the world around us. So let's wrestle, together.
​
May these resources be lights in the obscurity and a candle to lead your way to deeper faith and understanding who we are and who God is. Below is a continually curated list from our podcast guests and Pastor A.J.
