Description

In this episode, Will talks with Kevin Sweeney about his new book "The Cosmic Christ and the Concrete Jesus: Mystics, the Black Prophetic Tradition, and Why I'm Still a Christian."

Kevin shares how the mystics gave him the Cosmic Christ, while the Black prophetic tradition offered him the Concrete Jesus. Together, these traditions help us embrace both the universal presence of divine love and the urgent call to justice and liberation.

Key Topics Covered:

• The difference between experiencing Christ and just believing in Jesus
• How the Black prophetic tradition reveals Jesus as both liberator and threat to empire
• Why being "safe" in Christ allows us to become "dangerous" to injustice
• The transition from pastoring to hospice chaplaincy
• Why unity with Christ transcends religious boundaries

The Cosmic Christ and the Concrete Jesus is out on May 6th. Follow Kevin Sweeney for updates.
