On Church Daze, we aim to explore the intersections of faith and culture from a variety of perspectives. Particularly those from marginalized backgrounds, and when we talk about issues and experiences that we haven’t gone through personally, we try to make sure that we bring in someone who has those experiences. In honor of Native American Heritage Month, we are honored to have Victoria Chavis, a member of the Lumbee Tribe. Victoria discusses her experiences as a Native American, how Western Christianity has treated people of Native decent, and what Western Christianity can learn from Indigenous worldviews.
Guest bio: Victoria is a citizen of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina and grew up in Robeson County, NC. She currently works as a higher education professional and is pursuing her doctorate degree in Higher Education, Opportunity, Equity, and Justice from North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC. Some of her favorite bible verses are Deuteronomy 29:29, Jeremiah 17:9, and Romans 8:32
