Season 4 Episode 5: Lenny Duncan

GUEST: This week Rob, Kevin and Iain welcome Pastor Lenny Duncan. Lenny has been everything from high school dropout, drug dealer, sex worker, street corner poet, hitchhiker, dharma bum, small-town drifter, seminarian, political activist, father, pastor, lover, public theologian, and writer. Now he thrives in the Pacific Northwest where he is the Pastor of the Jubilee Collective. “Jesus is anti-racist and loves queer, trans, two-spirited people too,” says Pastor Lenny. With that in mind, his commitment to antiracism to naming racist structures in the church and the wider community is a commitment to the Way of the Cross. He’s calling now on ‘white folk to do white folk work’ and dismantle White Supremacy. On the heels of his wildly successful book - Dear Church: A Love Letter from a Black Preacher to the Whitest Church in America, Pastor Duncan is about to release his second book. The United States of Grace: A Memoir of Homelessness, Addiction, Incarceration, and Hope ~ is a compelling, heartbreaking, inspiring, gutting, giving, prophetic word of hope for a country facing a great challenge. Pastor Duncan has the guys in stitches and in tears. He’s brutally honest and non-apologetic for the truth he boldly tells. BLACK HISTORY MONTH: Each week in February the guys will highlight another Black Canadian Hero. Iain shares his admiration for Viola Desmond. Lenny Duncan talks about Uncle Jimmy Baldwin. IT’S NOT A LIE OF YOU BELIEVE IT:This week Iain talks about his baseball skills... or did he? https://unitedstatesofgrace.com/ This Podcast was recorded on February 17th, 2021.
