This episode is also available on iTunesGoogleSpotify or wherever you access your favorite podcasts.

ERB Editor C. Christopher Smith had the chance to sit down at the Christian Community Development Association (CCDA) conference with two first-time podcast guests Alexia Salvatierra & Greg Jarrell for a conversation themed around Alexia’s new book and Greg’s forthcoming one, and especially what majority-culture Christians can learn from marginalized, immigrant communities across the globe.

Rev. Dr. Alexia Salvatierra is the Academic Dean of the Centro Latino at Fuller Theological Seminary as well as the Assistant Professor of Integral Mission and Global Transformation. She is also the co-author (with Brandon Wrencher) of the new book, Buried Seeds: Learning From the Vibrant Resilience of Marginalized Christian Communities. Greg Jarrell is co-founder and Chief Door Answerer at QC Family Tree, a community of rooted discipleship in the west Charlotte neighborhood of Enderly Park. He is currently working on a book about hidden racial histories in the Charlotte area.

Special thanks to IVP for granting the space to record this conversation at the conference!
