EP. 9: An Incarcerated Faith w/ Dominique Gilliard
08/19/20 • 61 min
Our Kingdom citizenship doesn’t allow us to be content with injustice, and neither does the future of the Church. In this episode of The Future Is Here podcast, our host and CEO Tommy Nixon sits down with pastor, author, speaker, activist, racial justice educator, Dominique Gilliard to discuss why we must remember incarcerated people the way scripture does. This is an episode you DO NOT want to miss.
Dominique is the Director of Racial Righteousness and Reconciliation for the Love Mercy Do Justice (LMDJ) initiative of the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC). He is the author of Rethinking Incarceration: Advocating for Justice that Restores, which won the 2018 Book of the Year Award for InterVarsity Press. Gilliard also serves on the board of directors for the Christian Community Development Association and Evangelicals for Justice. In 2015, he was selected as one of the ECC’s “40 Under 40” leaders to watch, and the Huffington Post named him one of the “Black Christian Leaders Changing the World.”

EP. 8: Reclaiming Mission w/ Erica Schimelpfenig
In a world where "Evangelical" has become a dirty word, we as believers in the future of The Church must ask ourselves, "How do we reclaim evangelism?" UYWI believes we must lead this next generation to be on fire for Jesus, and excited about sharing the beautiful and powerful truth of Christ. But what does that look like and how do we separate it from the increasingly notorious connotation of the mere word, "evangelical." In this episode of The Future Is Here podcast, our host and CEO Tommy Nixon speaks to Erica Schimelpfenig, Executive Director of YouthWorks in Minneapolis, about including all kids of color in living on mission and what that movement looks like for the future.

EP.10 : A Framework for Community Transformation w/ Alexia Salvatierra
Micah 6:8
"The Lord has shown you what is good. He has told you what he requires of you. You must act with justice. You must love to show mercy. And you must be humble as you live in the sight of your God."
Have you ever wondered how to create change in your city through grassroots community organizing? Have you ever wondered if there is a biblical framework for how to impact public policy in a just & merciful way?
So much of what we deal with as youth workers are directly connected to how our cities, schools, and communities are governed. Each community has its own unique set up policy issues that affect the way our kids learn, live, and develop. As you live in proximity with your students, your heart may feel burdened to create a more just society where youth can safely grow up and thrive.
There's hope. You can be a part of organizing & bringing change to your community.
In this episode of The Future Is Here Podcast, our host and CEO Tommy Nixon sits down with guest Alexia Salvatierra (Professor at Fuller Seminary) to take you through a biblical framework for why & how you can create a grassroots movement & impact policy change in your city.
