Michelle Sanchez | Your Discerning Life Story, Episode 13
Host: Steve Macchia, Guest: Michelle Sanchez
“In a racially broken world, what we need for disciples to be is not color-blind, but color-courageous.” – Michelle Sanchez
Michelle Sanchez is Executive Minister of Make and Deepen Disciples for the Evangelical Covenant Church, a multiethnic denomination of over 900 congregations throughout North America. She is also the author of Color-Courageous Discipleship book series. As she notes, it’s far better to become color-courageous than to be color-blind. Her vision: follow Jesus, dismantle racism when we see it, and build beloved community by loving one another across our differences. As an African American minister, Michelle has a unique voice to communicate this important message to the Church today. In this conversation she shares how God called her out of her investment banking career into full time ministry, beginning in the local church and now in a strategic denominational leadership position.
