Madang Podcast: Otis Moss, III
About Madang:
Madang is the outdoor living room of the world. Here, we invite you to sit and tune into unreserved, remarkable conversations with renown authors, leaders, public figures and scholars on religion, culture and everything in-between.
This has been a dream of mine for many years and now it is. reality. Please join me at madang.
This is the 23rd episode of Madang where I converse with Otis Moss III on his forthcoming book, Dancing in the Darkness.
The Rev. Dr. Otis Moss III is senior pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Illinois. He is a preacher, poet, activist, author, community organizer, scholar, filmmaker, and the founder of The Unashamed Media Group. In October 2020, Dr. Moss created “Otis’ Dream”, a short film about his grandfather’s unsuccessful attempt to vote in 1946. The film has received numerous awards and acclaim across the country.
Dr. Moss was identified by the Baylor University George W. Truett Theological Seminary as “one of the twelve most effective preachers in the English language” in 2018. Along with his ministerial duties, he is also a Professor of Homiletics at Mercer University’s McAfee School of Theology in Atlanta, Georgia.
So thankful to have Rev. Otis Moss III to discuss his forthcoming book, Dancing in the Darkness.
Christian Century tweeted, “There is a spiritual anemia in our nation, and we’re trying to replace it with a philosophy of materialism or a truncated theology or a political hierarchy of ‘I’m a winner; you’re a loser.’”
Conversations about his open letter to his son, Otis’ Dream, Elijah, Dr. King, Retribution, the genealogy in Matthew, spirituality and so much more.
Endorsement:
"Moss takes the words from our ancient Scriptures and prophetically applies them to our most urgent moral battles and choices; in ways that makes the Bible come alive again." – Jim Wallis, Inaugural Chair and Director of The Georgetown Center on Faith and Justice
