The Sound of God Revisited, with Otis Moss III
On this Martin Luther King Day, we revisit one of our favorite conversations with one of America’s most needed prophetic voices—Rev. Dr. Otis Moss III, pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, who just released a brand new book which we highly recommend—Dancing in the Darkness: Spiritual Lessons for Turbulent Times. He is a preacher, poet, activist, author and filmmaker with an eye toward justice and equality, as evidenced through the gospel of Jesus Christ. Dr. Moss preaches a theology of liberation rooted in a Black Spirituality of love and justice. His passion for African American culture and history combined with a deep appreciation for jazz and hip hop, have culminated in a unique message of hope and healing through a jazz narrative on American democracy. Dr. Moss was identified by the Baylor University George W. Truett Theological Seminary as one of the 12 most effective preachers in the English language in 2018.
