A coaching approach in a mastermind setting enables participants to dive deeply into their innermost thoughts, ideas, beliefs, and assumptions while examining what emerges in their words, actions, and behaviors as a member of a racialized society. This approach encourages empowerment in four key areas: courage, conversation, relationship, and accountability. Will you join the conversation?

Parables for Understanding a Nation's Sins At InflexionPoint Podcast we are dedicated to the art of listening in authentic conversation. We challenge our audience to listen actively and intentionally for the purpose of self-awareness, in-depth perspective-taking, personal transformation, and ultimately social impact. The 2024 theme explores the Art of Community Conversations in today's climate of EDI, antiracism, and book banning. In this Community Conversation we continue our discussion of Christian Nationalism viewed through the Kwanzaa Principle of Imani (Faith).   “Search for the specific term “racism” in the Bible, you wouldn’t necessarily find it. But that doesn’t mean that the problem of racism isn’t in the Bible, or that we can’t learn from God’s Word as we seek to eradicate racism from our communities and churches...Racism has deformed us, as persons, as communities, as families,” says Rev. Dr. Pedro Agudelo. “And racism isolates us from each other, separates us, and we are designed by God to complement each other.” Oppression is as old as the Old Testament – oppression though enslavement (Israelites in Egypt)Otherization made plain in the New Testament – Jews/Samaritans The diverse family of God - there’s a level of love that’s there; it's the opposite of racism and has the power to eradicate racism. Peter’s vision – what God has made clean, you must not call uncleanRacism goes against God’s will/intention for unity – every human being bears the image of God
