Verdell Wright’s ”Good God Gone”

For Verdell Wright, one of the first and hardest things to let go in his journey out of faith was the idea of "Good God". Because with all that he’d seen around him concerning the historical plight of Black people alone he thought surely, there is no good reason to believe in an omni-benevolence deity. As an individual Verdell realized what he wanted more than anything was peace and freedom. He says, "I didn’t need to wait for my worthiness to be certified before God or myself"...and he’s not alone.  In this episode Verdell details accounts from a personal memoir as a Black, LGBTQ, neuro-divergent, former clergyman. We are joined directly into his presentation from the Legacy program in 2020.  _____________________________ (Ep. 6)  Show Notes  Host: Rogiérs  Writing & Narration: Rogiérs  Production & Editing: Fibby Music Group, LLC Opening performed by Rogiérs, Reginald & Alesandra Ndu Recorded at: FMG Studios, Washington, DC Cover Artwork: Emily Wilson Music Licensing/Episode Musical Credits courtesy of: Fibby Music Recordings, Storyblocks, AshMinistries, Gospel House Ministries, Inc.
