For Verdell Wright, one of the first and hardest things to let go in his journey out of faith was the idea of "Good God". Because with all that he’d seen around him concerning the historical plight of Black people alone he thought surely, there is no good reason to believe in an omni-benevolence deity. As an individual Verdell realized what he wanted more than anything was peace and freedom. He says, "I didn’t need to wait for my worthiness to be certified before God or myself"...and he’s not alone.  In this episode Verdell details accounts from a personal memoir as a Black, LGBTQ, neuro-divergent, former clergyman. We are joined directly into his presentation from BNDC's Legacy program in 2020 with co-host, Mandisa Thomas.  _____________________________ (Ep. 6)  Show Notes  Host: Rogiérs  Co-host: Mandisa Thomas, Black Nonbelievers Writing &amp; Narration: Rogiérs  Production &amp; Editing: Fibby Music Group, LLC Opening performed by Rogiérs, Reginald &amp; Alesandra Ndu Recorded at: FMG Studios, Washington, DC Cover Artwork: Emily Wilson Music Licensing/Episode Musical Credits courtesy of: Fibby Music Recordings, Storyblocks, AshMinistries, Gospel House Ministries, Inc.

Verdell Wright’s ”Good God Gone”

On this episode of The Life After, we are talking with our friend, Verdell Wright. Verdell is a theology nerd in the purest sense. Boasting theology degrees from Rutgers, Howard and Wesley Theological Seminary. Verdell is also black, and gay. Put all those things together, along with a very intelligent and well conceived deconstruction and you get a powerful thinker, writer, and advocate. Verdell very recently published a piece for for the Black Youth Project about how he went from being a sought after minister to leaving the Christian faith. Or, pushing beyond the Christian faith as he likes to put it. In our interview with Verdell, we cover everything from the problem of theodicy, to coming out, to what it’s like to be the token Black guy in a quote ‘progressive’ white church.

Pushing Beyond (Being Othered x Theology) with Verdell Wright

My guest this week is Verdell Wright. In this conversation Verdell and I talk about growing up in the 7th Day Adventist tradition, asking big questions at an early age, the difficulties of attending church when you're seminary educated, depression, sexuality, Christian atheism, and religious humanism. It's a wide ranging conversation, but I hope you listen through to the very end. In the final section, Verdell talks about his work in highlighting Black queer voices, and what we can all do to highlight and support them as well, including financially, emotionally, and by including them in events and elsewhere. Be sure to follow the Dell &amp; Jess Show on Twitter: twitter.com/dellandjess, and follow Verdell there, too: twitter.com/mr\_wrightaway. You can follow me on Twitter [at] brchastain.
