In this episode, Bishop Curry talks to Teddy Reeves, the assistant curator of religion at the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C. Reeves’ extensive work with “gOD-talk: a black millennials and faith conversation series” give him particular insight into concerning and hopeful trends for the future of Christianity in the United States.  

Blessing on the Way of Love – that is, sharing faith and unselfishly giving and serving – often involves uncomfortable – and life-giving – conversation and action. The two discuss the importance of sharing stories, joys, and concerns with each other, noting that earnestly listening to each other is the best way to move congregations and individuals forward.
