In this episode of 'The Biggest Table' I am joined by renowned theologian and author Grace Ji-Sun Kim to discuss her work, her experiences with race and identity, and her thoughts on hospitality through food. Grace shares personal anecdotes, including her struggles with racism growing up in Canada and the cultural significance of Korean food. Our discussion delves into some of her latest book 'When God Became White,' exploring the concept of a white male God and its implications for society and the church. Grace emphasizes the power of shared meals in fostering understanding and dismantling racial and cultural barriers.
