CJ Quartlbaum is a self-titled "pastor adjacent" speaker, writer and Brooklyn resident. CJ was a spoken word artist in churches around the country but truly realized Jesus as his savior at 22. His newest endeavor is Live & Labor, where he makes theology and life with God simple. We talked about CJ's life before and after becoming a Christian, telling stories about racial justice that haven't been told, his experience in the NY financial business as a black man, inner-city missions, and why a multi-ethnic church must be multi-cultural, not only having different looking people. Resources from CJ & mentioned: Live and Labor **Live and Labor Extensive Racial Justice/ Racial Reconciliation Resource List** A Biblical Response to Racial Injustice Webinar (Hosted by CJ) Book: Divided by Faith: Evangelical Religion and the Problem of Race in America Article: Justice Too Long Delayed by Timothy Dalrymple, Christianity Today Instagrams: @cj_quartlbaum , @worthpodcast , @robby.whaley Thanks for listening!
