Posted on

In episode 4, I welcome the Rev. Bruce Reyes Chow, Presbyterian pastor, youngest moderator of the Presbyterian Church (USA) in 2008-2010 (218th General Assembly). He founded a church in San Francisco early in his career and spent several years serving as interim pastor. He is also a professional coach, avid podcaster, sought after speaker, and writer. He is the author of several books, including But I Don’t See You as Asian: Creating Conversations About Race (2013) and 40 Days, 40 Prayers, 40 Words: Lenten Reflections for Everyday Life (2015). He has another book coming out October 1, 2020, In Defense of Kindness: Why It Matters, How It Changes Our Lives, and How It Can Save the World, which is available for pre-order now. You can find his musings at reyes-chow.com and his podcast, “BRC and Friends” wherever you listen to podcasts.

PROGRAMMING NOTE: Beginning at 1:05:37, Bruce mentions a story about Pat Robertson blaming COVID-19 on oral sex. However, some research revealed that a quote from Pat Robertson was “revised” by a satirical website, The Business Standard News, to mention oral sex. In the past, Pat Robertson has approved of oral sex between a married couple as a positive expression of love. Politifact and Snopes both correct the record. I kept the clip with Bruce for purposes of editorial humor—it’s just funny! Pat Robertson did not say that.
