A Pastor and a Philosopher Walk into a Bar The Truth Will Set Us Free: An Interview w/ Lisa Sharon Harper
Buckle up, friends...this is a major episode.
Lisa Sharon Harper wrote Fortune, which dives into and details the history of her ancestors from Africa, to slave ships, to plantations and displaced and colonized Native Americans, all the way through to her own lived experience and the trauma, bravery, and resilience she carries in her own body through her ancestors. The book details the history and making of America in brutally honest ways...ways we all need to hear. This interview is raw, honest, challenging, beautiful, and she wraps it up by taking us to church. Can somebody say, "Amen!"?!
The whiskey we tasted in this episode is Maker's Mark Private Selection. It's delicious.
The beverage tasting is at 3:11. To skip to the interview, go to 6:54.

Content note: this episode contains discussion of rape, slavery, drugs, racial violence, and some mild profanity.
