Join Barb and her guests, Chad and Adaeze Brinkman, to discuss their new book, White Boy Black Girl. As an interracial couple, Chad and Adaeze discovered that they each carried their own unique baggage into their relationship and had to make the decision to fight through the awkward and uncomfortable moments, even when they wanted to run in the opposite direction.

If there are people in your life that you are struggling to understand or whose differences can at times feel like too much to handle, this episode is for you. Join Barb and the Brinkmans for a fun and uplifting conversation about how the gospel of Jesus can bring us together, even when our differences threaten to break us apart.

Adaeze and Chad's Book - White Boy/Black Girl: What Our Differences Can Teach Us, One Honest Conversation at a Time

ABOUT OUR SPECIAL GUEST

Chad and Adaeze Brinkman are a married couple who intentionally live out their passion of sharing the Gospel of Jesus together in their community. Adaeze works in the creative arts and Chad is a physical therapist. They love traveling and adventuring together, taking in the beauty of God's creation and encouraging others to do the same.

Once upon a time, purity culture promised young Christian girls that all they had to do was save themselves for marriage and their lives would be happily ever after. However, decades later the fairytale of purity culture has turned into a nightmare of consequences for millennial and Gen X Christian women carrying the abuse and pain from a man-made construct that failed to focus on God’s truth.

Join Barb for her conversation with Dr. Camden Morgante as they discuss the 5 myths of purity culture and give voice to the spoken and unspoken pain that many of you experience today whether it’s sexual dysfunction within a marriage, shame from premarital sex or perhaps even broken marriages because of the toxic purity culture indoctrination as teenagers.

Our prayer is that you find hope, healing and freedom from today's conversation and can move forward with both confidence to believe that you are loved and conviction to live in a way that honors our good God.
