Confessions of a White Evangelical

On episode 117 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are joined by guest-host, Tamika Mallory.    Tamika Mallory is an attorney and activist, co–host of the TMI podcast, perhaps best known for organizing the 2017 Women’s march. She continues her work as an author and organizer online @tamikadmallory on Instagram.    Our guest today is Reverend Dr. Robert Schenck.    What role have white evangelicals played in the current struggle against fascism? Once a political actor tasked with influencing SCOTUS to overturn Roe v. Wade, Reverend Schenck has since come to regret his involvement with the religious right, which he describes as a “cult.” He now calls himself a “dissenting Evangelical organizer.” Our hosts ask the reverend what brought him around.    For Your Situational Awareness:   – Country Music Artist Jelly Roll Gives an Emotional Grammys Speech   – Secretary of War Meets with Jeff Bezos after Melania movie bribe   – Powerful Testimony from Woman Pulled Out of Her Car by ICE   – Update on Don Lemon / Georgia Fort Arrests   – Epstein Files, Melinda French Gates Responds to Salacious Claims about Her Ex-Husband   Vote for NLP at the NAACP Image Awards: https://vote.naacpimageawards.net/categories/c1b34c1a-5f52-4d43-a442-08de2c5a3e90/entrants If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: http://www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/ and send to @nativelandpod.    We are 277 days away from the midterm elections.
