Earlier this year, I interviewed Churck Mingo and Dr. Troy Jackson about their book Living Undivided: Loving Courageously for Racial Healing and Justice. They addressed how pursuing racial healing remains a paramount concern, especially for the church and the believer. The conversation offers an enlightening dialogue with two champions of justice and racial reconciliation. These community leaders have committed themselves to "Living Undivided," an initiative that aims to bridge the racial divide and foster a society grounded in justice, mercy, and humility.Chuck Mingo's evolution from the corporate world to pastoral ministry was not merely a career transition but a leap into the mission of mending the racial fissures within our communities. Troy Jackson's profound engagement with civil rights history led him from scholarly endeavors to the frontline of activism. The episode vividly portrays their combined efforts and provides a roadmap for others seeking to navigate the tumultuous waters of race and reconciliation.I waited until the launch of the We The American Series to share this episode because I wanted to offer it as a way for us to navigate our divided culture while also seeking to understand our past. Chuck and Troy take us through the complexities of race and history, emphasizing the power of personal reflection and the importance of recognizing the truths that have shaped our local communities. Their narratives, woven with vulnerability and victory, mirror our own paths toward greater understanding and commitment.At a moment when the call for racial justice is more audible than it has been in the last 50 years, the episode underscores the critical role of the church in this conversation. Through moving anecdotes, such as a mother's concerns for her child's faith amidst the church's perceived silence on racial matters, the episode highlights the urgent need for spiritual leaders to advocate for justice and live out Jesus' vision of justice, mercy, and righteousness. It culminates with an exhortation to embrace the teachings found in "Living Undivided" and to join Chuck and Troy in their quest to repair the tapestry of our fractured world.The episode encourages us to connect with the stories of racial formation that surround us, urging us to either challenge or elevate these narratives. It brings to light the necessity of confronting our nation's historical relationship with race, especially during times of national reflection, while not neglecting to acknowledge instances where progress has shone through.As the episode progresses, it delves into the critical urgency of addressing racial injustice and the church's integral role in this endeavor. Chuck and Troy discuss the implications of the church's silence on racial issues, the idolatry of Christian nationalism, and the distractions that deter us from our mission. They stress the importance of self-care and community support in preventing burnout and reiterate the spiritual practices that sustain our efforts toward a more equitable society.In conclusion, the episode is not just an auditory experience but a call to action. It invites listeners to engage with the content and the authors, urging them to become part of the ongoing movement toward racial justice and healing.

We need to lead the way to true racial healing, solidarity, and justice. Through enlightening history and eye-opening personal stories, Living Undivided will equip and empower you with the biblical, transformative tools you need to move from just hoping and wishing for racial justice to actionable change that makes a difference in your life and the lives of churches, neighborhoods, and cities.

Ken welcomes author, pastor, professor, and advocate Dr. Troy Jackson to talk about his new book Living Undivided: Loving Courageously for Racial Healing and Justice (To be released January 2024).  Along with Co-Author  Chuck Mingo, Dr. Jackson tells the story of an initiative designed to "bring people together to learn from each other with honesty, integrity, and vulnerability, moving them toward awareness, through agitation, and into action." Troy tells his personal story, raised in Anderson Indiana by a high school teacher/basketball coach. His teams were racially integrated. Troy formed deep friendships, but in college, he came to understand that as open as he thought he was, whiteness remained woven into his own worldview. Called to ministry, Troy earned an M. Div. at Princeton Theological Seminary, where he was introduced to theologian James Cone. It set the trajectory of his pastoral work, launched in urban Cincinnati, Ohio. Longing to learn more, he enrolled in a post-graduate program at the University of Kentucky. He took a deep dive into the historical papers of Dr. Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights Movement. His doctoral dissertation emerged out of that study. When he met Chuck Mingo, the two of them partnered in a project called Undivided - focussing on racial history, reconciliation, and the biblical mandate to build bridges - to pursue justice, repentance, and restoration. SHOW NOTES | Ken's Substack | Become a PatronSupport the show

Some churches seek to exploit political controversy for self-serving ends. But many more churches instinctively avoid controversy, and steer away from topics that may reveal differences. In this episode, Curtis is joined by Chuck Mingo to explore a different route: treating this upcoming election season as an opportunity for spiritual growth. They make the case that the same spiritual muscles that get built in politics apply also to marriages, parenting, employment and other areas of discipleship. Curtis and Chuck also talk about the practicalities involved: what should happen on Sunday morning (and what shouldn't); the top rookie mistakes made when first trying to engage in politics; how the posture of the “wounded healer” is necessary for pastors; and much more.   Find out more about the Undivided course and ministry here.   Pre-order Chuck's book (written with Troy Jackson), Living Undivided: Loving Courageously for Racial Healing and Justice

Racial injustice is a concern worldwide. As different communities stem up and work in support of oppressed communities daily, the question lingering on the minds of many is about the church's role in addressing it. In honor of Black History Month, I talk to Chuck Mingo, founder, and CEO of Living Undivided about the church's input in countering racial injustice. We speak about: The function of the church in healing the wounds of racism How God led Chuck to start a racial reconciliation movement The value in graduating from awareness to action when creating a change toward racial injustice and reconciliation The prioritization of cross-culture relationships in one's lives How Christians can get involved in combating racism Quotes The Bible has a lot to say about how we live out justice. As a church there is a role we play, we are called to take action. The journey for all of us is a journey of three things, a journey of awareness, a journey of relationships, and a journey of action. When you are at a funeral or wedding that is how you see how diverse one's network is. Righteousness and justice are the foundations of God's throne As believers, we cannot separate personal righteousness from public pursuit of justice Episode Resources Undivided Connect with Chuck Mingo Website: https://chuckmingo.com/ Socials: Facebook - Instagram- Twitter-YouTube Connect with Hope Made Strong Website: HopeMadeStrong.org Socials: Facebook – Instagram – Twitter – YouTube

In this special episode of the Good Faith podcast we pause to reflect on the tragic shooting in Buffalo and explore its underlying racial motivations, so-called “white replacement theory.” Joining David and Curtis (and producer Kris) is our special guest Chuck Mingo, pastor and founder of Living Undivided.
