Tensions are running high in our nation and in our world right now. Last week on Instagram, I mentioned that I was praying for a peaceful transition of power between Adminstrations, and my new friend, Aaron Young, commented that we needed to do a better job actually talking with each other—black and white—so that we can have a better understanding of where each of us is coming from. I couldn’t agree more, and so, I invited two friends of color on the show with me this week.
It’s hard at times, but listening to each other is good. I hope you’ll be blessed as Aaron, Dr. Lainna Callentine and myself talk openly and honestly about race, the culture, and what we have in common. Be encouraged! We are brothers and sisters in Christ!
Aaron Young has been married to his wife Brittany for 5 years and is a father of three. He is a US Army veteran. He is the executive director of the Hattie Lewis Reynolds for University Scholars and is an advocate for Parent Institute for Quality Education in his area.
Dr. Lainna Callentine has a great love for teaching. She is a pediatricia
n, homeschool mother, and former classroom teacher with a certification in elementary education. She is a former 5th grade classroom teacher with a masters degree in education. Dr. Callentine continues to have wonderment for the beauty of God’s creation in the human body. She left formal medicine in the E.R. to stay home and homeschool her three children. However, she still practices her hobby of medicine at a Christian Clinic in the Chicago suburbs.
Dr. Callentine has taught hands-on science in many different settings and forums. She has spoken at a large variety of support groups, community organizations, and conventions such as the Illinois Christian Home Educators convention.
