Our podcast episode 6 featuring Chandra Crane is live on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and Audible.
On this episode of the podcast, we talk with Chandra Crane, a writer and leader in multiethnic ministry initiatives, about her new book Mixed Blessing (InterVarsity Press, 2020). Our theme question: what does it mean to see, steward, and celebrate multi-ethnicity? Among the topics we discuss:
- How multiethnic (mixed) people process questions like “where are you from?” and “what are you?”
- The blessing that mixed people are to the church and the world
- Ways to think about distinctions between ethnicity & race, “cultural appropriation” vs. “cultural appreciation”, and cultural stereotypes vs. “cultural prototypes”.
- Why it is important to talk about ethnicity as part of talking about our identity in Christ (and the identity of Christ!)
