Becoming the Beloved Community: Conversations Churches Need to Learn

"The Antioch Podcast" is a weekly recorded conversation among a multiracial team of Christian anti-racism educators and friends.

The cohosts deeply believe that more Christians need to learn to talk about race without awkwardness or defensiveness. Come to learn more about ways your church community can grow in this area.

Well-being and Shalom

Soul Care is a communal affinity gathering where, through an interpretive biblical lens, a space of shalom is formed in wholeness, completeness, and soundness. In such spaces, front-line community leaders are seen, known, and understood. They experience a climate of goodness, safety, well-being, and belonging with others through four voices of compassionate care: the prophet, the pastor, the purpose, and the passage. Here, the trauma resulting from the front-line work can be faced together, and healing begins to emerge. Those in reconciliation work need these postured voices speaking into them, ultimately reflecting the voice of the triune God.
