Irwyn Ince Jr.'s Beautiful Journey from Rebel to Award-Winning Author

The Every Voice Now Podcast

When Irwyn Ince Jr. was a teenager, he began to distance himself from his Christian faith. But as he came to understand and appreciate his Blackness, God used that recognition of his ethnic and racial identity to bring him back to the fold and to shape Irwyn in ways that would uniquely position him as a key African-American leader in a Reformed space. Find out how more about this delightful author whose award-winning book The Beautiful Community was Outreach Magazine's Racial Reconciliation Resource of the Year—and what advice he has for other potential authors of color.
