ERB Editor Chris Smith hosts this episode for a thoughtful and incisive discussion on the insidious nature of hierarchy and how it impacts so much of human society and structures. He is joined by two first-time guests, Beth Allison Barr and Jonathan Brooks, who bring a wealth of personal experience and academic rigor to the conversation.
Beth Allison Barr, author of The Making of Biblical Womanhood (one of our Best Books of 2021!), is professor of history at Baylor University in Texas. Jonathan Brooks (aka Pastah J) is a lifelong resident of Chicago and currently serves as Co-Lead Pastor at Lawndale Christian Community Church in the North Lawndale Neighborhood. Pastah J is a sought after speaker, writer, artist and community activist. He has contributed to numerous blogs, articles and books and is author of the recent book Church Forsaken: Practicing Presence in Neglected Neighborhoods (one of our Best Books of 2017!).
