Episode 271 | Lunch to Save the World – Part 1 (What and Why)

May 6, 2025 | Conversations with Trailblazers, Racial Reconciliation

For the past five years, Pastor Alex has had a monthly lunch meeting with a few guys to talk about social, racial, and societal issues. We have had black, white, and Latinos men all coming together to share our perspectives, ask questions, and listen to each other. This lunch started after the George Floyd incident in May of 2020 when my friend Hector connected me with Lieutenant Dave Meyer to gain perspective from all sides of that issue. From there, we kept meeting to talk about other issues and events like Breonna Taylor, Rayshard Brooks, Jacob Blake, Tyreek Hill, etc. We discussed all the issues you discussed on social media. Now, we are finally ready to share our conversations with the world. We will do this in a 10-week series of podcasts and then plan on releasing the book next year. “Lunch to Save the World” tells the story of how people from all different walks of life come together to civilly discuss what’s going on in our world!
