Hey, friends, welcome back to another episode of Theology in the raw. My guest today is my friend Dr. Malcolm Foley, who got his PhD at Baylor University. Malcolm is a pastor, historian, and speaker who serves as a special advisor to the president for equity and campus engagement at Baylor University. And he is the author of the about to be released book, The Anti-Greed Gospel, Why the Love of Money is a

root of racism and how the church can create a new way forward. This is a fantastic book,

very provocative, very challenging. So if you want a nice, easy book that won't challenge you

in any way, then stay away from this one. But if you like to be challenged and have

your heart and mind mess with, then you're going to want to pick up this book. It's super,

super good. I met Malcolm. Gosh, I've known of them for a while. But we first met in person last

September when we spoke at the Center for Pastor Theologians' annual conference. And this dude lit up the room.

Honestly, his talk was among the best talks I've heard in the last five years.

Truly, it was mind-blowing. So I was like, I got to get to know this guy better. It's funny, we've actually been, we've actually crossed past several times since then at different conferences and so on.

And of course, I invited Malcolm out to speak at the X-Less conference in April.

He's going to be participating in a dialogue with Thaddeus Williams about whether or not social justice is an intrinsic part of the

gospel. Cannot wait to listen to that dialogue at the Exiles Conference. If you too want to

listen to that dialogue at the Exiles Conference, April 3rd to 5th in Minneapolis, Minnesota, go to

TheologyInTheRaw.com and check it out. You'll hear Malcolm and Thadius and many, many other speakers. It's going to be an amazing time. So, please welcome to the raw.com and check it out. You'll hear Malcolm and Thaddeus and many, many other

speakers. It's going to be an amazing time. So please welcome to the show for the first time,

the one and only, Dr. Malcolm Foley. Oh, Dr. Foley. How are you doing this morning?

I'm doing great. I'm really excited for this podcast. I've been excited for this podcast for very long time.

I wanted to have this podcast last October.

Yeah, yeah.

But, yeah, we had to wait because we want to make sure that this coincides with the release

of your book.

I'll hold it up again.
