Go with Grace is a Soulforce podcast in which we’ll discuss how we respond to white Christian supremacy with resistance and resilience. Soulforce believes that spiritual resilience and the unwillingness to succumb to fear and hopelessness is crucial to our people’s survival and our social justice movements. With fascism on the rise and the religious right at the helm, we feel it’s imperative to equip our people with a strong understanding of the functionality of Christian Supremacy and the political and spiritual tools to push back against such harmful ideology.

This week I had the pleasure of speaking with Joey Richards, a musician, stand-up comedian and PhD student at UNC, Chapel Hill. Last year, I had the opportunity to see their one-person show called Breaking Up With Jesus about their Christian upbringing and the feelings of being judged and manipulated, yet stuck in a dynamic that was harmful…and their journey to disentangle themself from all of that.
In this interview, Joey and I talk about their show and comedy as a strategy to facilitate healing and transformation.
If you’d like to keep up with Joey or invite the show, Breaking Up With Jesus to your community, you can email josephpatrickrichards@gmail.com or josephri@ live.unc.edu. Here is the article with another interview with Joey about their show: https://indyweek.com/topics/joseph-richards/
