Rev. Kara Baylor, #PissedOffPastor: Righteous Anger at Racial Injustice

#PissedOffPastor

Pastor Kara Baylor is pissed off.

She is pissed about racism.
She is pissed about systemic racism.
She is pissed about how racism affects her kids.
She is pissed about the lack of historical knowledge regarding the deep roots of racism.

Pastor Kara is angry, and righteously so. You can read more of what she is pissed about on her blog Pissed off Pastor.

Today, I sit down with Pastor Kara and we talk in-depth about why she is pissed and what we can do about it. We dive into the value of anger and how discomfort is usually what leads to powerful and necessary change. Through her anger, Pastor Kara leads us to imagine a new way, a new possibility in which we can all live in a more open, more equitable, more just world.

Join two pastors, both of whom live or work in Kenosha, WI, which is the current epicenter of the movement towards racial justice, as they dive into racism in America, and how our faith calls us into a new way of being.
