Cut Culture

How To Talk About Race (Without Losing Your Mind!)

Why does the room suddenly lose all its oxygen the moment race comes up in a staff meeting? In this episode of Cut Culture, host Rev. Herman Armstrong picks up the shears to tackle the conversation most leaders are terrified to have. We dig into the "Sucker Conversations" draining your team's energy—from the reactionary Outrage Loop to the passive denial of "not seeing color." Backed by sobering modern data on the wealth and workplace gap, this episode reveals how to apply Kathairo to cleanse your dialogue. Discover the three precision cuts your organization needs to move past political bickering and build a team that serves as an agent of true healing: * The Cut to History (Understanding the roots) * The Cut to Current Events (Acknowledging the present weight) * The Cut to Truth & Justice (Aligning with the Vinedresser's heart) Stop holding your breath. It’s time to stop fearing the blade and start trusting the growth. Stay sharp. Keep growing. Links & Resources: Ready to equip your team with true, data-driven frameworks for cross-cultural mastery?

What is Cut Culture?

Thanks for listening to the first episode of Cut Culture! Herman Armstrong shares his story of learning the hard way what happens when teams try to do culturally unifying work externally without developing a healthy internal culture. From nonprofits, corporate, ministry, or education - building internal trust is the foundation of all dynamic teams. And that work begins with healthy and self-aware leadership.
