On this episode we are joined by Rev. Mycal X. Brickhouse, a 2016 M.Div. grad, pastor in Cary, N.C., and also our Director of Alumni Relations at Duke Divinity School. Rev. Brickhouse and Rev. Maberry connect across many topics, but they especially answer the following questions: what is it like to serve as a bivocational pastor, what role can the church have in the public sphere, and does UNC Chapel Hill have a Divinity School? Take a listen for the answer to those questions and more.
If you would like to read the book Rev. Brickhouse just read, The Politics of Jesus by Obery Hendricks, find it here. You can stream Lovecraft Country over at HBO. Enjoy Cory Henry and the Funk Apostles here. Rev. Brickhouse’s writing can be found on his website and you can learn more about the work of his church, Cary First, on theirs.
We invite you to learn more about our Office of Black Church Studies, including the Certificate in Black Church Studies, and the many courses, preaching series, and events curated each year.
