  • Thanks for your podcast!

    I am appreciating being introduced to new voices thru your podcast. As a white professor of intercultural studies I continue to want to unpack whiteness and how whiteness influences the way I teach and what I teach. My students will be reading your latest book next semester. It would be great to have you join us sometime next semester!

  • Mr.

    Profane faith is a thought-provoking podcast that centers diverse voices that we need right now as the church in the US. Unfiltered but careful and precise in its helpful criticisms of how the church in the US continues to feed the destructive idol of white nationalism.

  • A Man Who Let’s the Women Talk

    Dr. Dan is not afraid to hand the mic to women of color and, on top of that, he listens. This is the primary reason why I subscribe to this podcast; he has introduced to so many amazing women of color (KOREANS IN THE HOUSE) who love Jesus and are game changers. This podcast is not for the faint of heart, but it is for a lot of us whose hearts have been hurt by systemic racism in the church.
