Coffee with Lisa Sharon Harper

Lisa Sharon Harper confirms here that one reason President Obama
was able to create the DACA program was because of a broad
coalition of evangelical Christians advocating for major
immigration reform?


From Ferguson to New York to Germany and South Africa, Lisa leads
trainings and helps mobilize clergy and community leaders around
shared values for the common good. A prolific speaker, writer and
activist, Lisa is the founder and president of FreedomRoad.us, a
consulting group dedicated to shrinking the narrative gap in our
nation by convening forums and experiences that bring common
understanding, common commitment, and common action toward a just
world.


In 2015 The Huffington Post recognized her as one of “50 Powerful
Women Religious Leaders to Celebrate on International Women’s
Day.” Most recently, Relevant Magazine recognized The Very Good
Gospel: How Everything Wrong can be Made Right as one of “Six
Books that Will Change the Way You See the World” and Lisa as one
of “Seven Leaders to Follow in 2017.”


In the ordination process with the Evangelical Covenant Church,
Lisa is the author of several books. We have linked to four
titles below and included a video about The Very Good Gospel.


As we interview and publish this episode I (Jay McNeal) am in the
midst of getting to experience Lisa's leadership firsthand as she
is facilitating a great conversational work in Richmond, VA over
the course of many months. If you move quickly enough, you too
can come aboard. There will be two more three-day opportunities,
the next is March 20, 2018.


Lastly, we reopen this interview after our initial sign-off, so
be sure to hear the most urgent part of the interview after our
usual ending.
