Toxic Train Wreck, from Pro-Life to Election Denial, the Underground Railroad to Mexico

KTF Weekly Newsletter

Hey everyone!

The release of Faith Unleavened is still rolling, and we are grateful to all of you who bought copies, took pictures, and left reviews. Great news: you can now order Faith Unleavened to your local independent book store through IndieBound! Also, Tamice has a couple of IG Lives tomorrow, so make sure to follow her on IG so you can tune in! We also have our full podcast interview with Tamice coming tomorrow!

Our newsletter returns this week with resources to help you leave colonized faith for the Kingdom of God because so much of the church has for too long derided and dismissed marginalized people and perspectives. We hope this helps you elevate and center those the Bible says Jesus holds close.

Jonathan’s recommendations:

• The underground railroad didn’t just go North to Canada; it also went south to Mexico. This article by Russell Contreras from Axios is chock-full of resources and links that challenge preconceived notions of the struggle for liberation. For instance, he links to his other article from the Associated Press that examines biracial couples using their homes as stops on the route to Mexico, as well as Black and white Mexicans arming themselves to fight white slave catchers who traveled south of the border. The stories are rich and worthy of our time and attention. It counters narratives that oppress, marginalize, and divide to read about armed Black resistance to slavery, Mexico standing as a beacon of freedom and opportunity for people in America, and so many other through lines in these stories.
