"That can't be God..."

Tim Wise is an anti-racist educator and author from Nashville, TN.

I went to see him speak on Wednesday at Pacific Lutheran University with some friends and with my supervisor (yeah, she's a great boss).

So, Tim shared a lot of powerful information, history, truths and personal stories.

One out of many stories he shared that I appreciated most was this one...

Here, Tim Wise talks about addressing race with his young daughters as they watch "Evan Almighty," where God is played by actor, Morgan Freeman.

He talks about the impact of racialized images in our society, specifically, the common racialized images of God and what that communicates.
