This podcast exists to equip Christians with the education and inspiration needed to confront and dismantle racism in America.
Racism is woven into the fabric of America. More than 150 years before the Declaration of Independence was signed, the first enslaved Africans arrived in America and were subjected to unspeakable trauma and tragedy through forced labor, rape, murder and more. Yet, the perpetuation and growth of slavery, followed by laws designed to ensure Black people remained socially and economically inferior, was enabled by Church leaders who used doctrine to approve of the practices harming Black people. Join us for this important conversation about the intersection of race, hate and faith in America with the leaders of America's largest denominations.
