Hola hermanos y hermanas, my name is Elizabeth Conde-Frazier and I’m here with a familiar voice, Emanuel Padilla, to introduce you to the Mestizo podcast, the show for the mixed people of the mixed church. World Outspoken partnered with the Association for Hispanic Theological Education to produce a show where we explore the complicated challenges of being part of, serving in, and growing an ethnic church en el ciglo 21. As first-generation immigrants age out of their leadership and the mestizo church transitions to the 2nd and 3rd generation, how does the ethnic church continue to thrive? What should an ethnic church look like today? These questions and more are what we explore together with your hosts, Emanuel Padilla y la Dra. Elizabeth Conde-Frazier. Your hosts are Puerto Rican, so you are going to hear some Spanglish de ves en cuando on The Mestizo Podcast; it’s part of who we are.

We will have guests like Karen Figueroa and Agustin Quiles join us to discuss issues of language, culture, and identity and how they affect the changing church. Espera el primer episodio on March 30th. Expect the first episode March 30th! Follow World Outspoken on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram so you don’t miss the release of this sabroso new show.
