As Christians consider how to heal racial wounds and pursue racial justice, one debated question is how reconciliation and justice are related. Must justice be served first, before talk of reconciliation can even be taken seriously? Or is reconciliation the groundwork that makes the collective pursuit of justice possible? Should evangelicals stop talking about the need for “racial reconciliation” unless they're actively addressing racial injustice? Or is the theological value of reconciliation—and forming meaningful relationships across racial lines—what will ultimately empower diverse communities to address injustice together? These and other related questions are addressed in this debate between Darryl Williamson and George Yancey. Williamson and Yancey share their arguments and engage in a discussion moderated by Jim Davis, teaching pastor at Orlando Grace Church.– Watch the full-length video debate here.– Access discussion guides for your church or small group. 

For reasons beyond our understanding, "social justice" has become a term of derision, often cast away as an unclean things that must be kept separate. However, when we read about the life and behaviors of Jesus—and pay close attention to His words—we quickly realize that those who would attempt to distance justice in the social sphere away from the heart of the gospel, may well be distancing themselves from the heart of God. In this episode of the Unsilent Church, Darryl Williamson drops this bomb along with many many others as it pertains to a Biblical theology of justice. If you've found yourself in a conversation with someone who believes the answer to injustice is to simply "preach the gospel," this is an episode to enlighten us all to a clearer understanding of grace, justice and God's heart for his people to act accordingly.

At TGC21, Darryl Williamson explains how Hebrews 12 uncovers the purpose of opposition in the Christian life. Spiritual conflict has been our defining reality since the fall of man, and God has used the church—people—to show himself to the world.Williamson says as we consider Christ, we cannot miss the cross and the way of suffering. Jesus doesn't tell us to avoid suffering. Instead, he says to not be afraid about what we are about to suffer. The purpose of this suffering, Williamson explains, is to endure and remain faithful through it. We're to share in Christ's afflictions and therefore share in his glory and rejoice in his faithfulness.

Guest preacher Darryl Williamson continues our series through the book of Hebrews with a sermon from Hebrews 11:32-40.

This episode has been marked as explicit due to sensitive language related to racial slurs. Please listen with discretion.In this episode of As In Heaven, host Jim Davis revisits some of the conversations with previous guests of the podcast to explore their personal experiences with law enforcement. This is, of course, a touchy subject, and we address it here not in order to malign police officers, but because we believe this season would be incomplete without these very important stories.  Not everyone is aware of some of the dignity robbing or sometimes  traumatic encounters that black pastors and professors have had with law enforcement. Empathy and understanding has been the purpose of this show from the start, and that requires that we grasp the fears and wounds of minorities in this cultural moment.  The reason for these stories (:13)Crawford Loritts (3:18)Isaac Adams (7:10)Darryl Williamson (11:19)Carl Ellis (26:00)Walter R. Strickand (33:39)Jerome Gay (36:28)Irwyn Ince (44:35)Explore more from TGC on the topic of  race. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:Had you ever heard any stories like these before? What did it feel like to hear so many pastors and professors share their painful, sad, and/or scary stories?Have you ever had an encounter like any of these? If not, what do you think it would feel like in that moment? If these things happened to you, what do you think it would feel like in the future being pulled over?If these things happened to you, what do you think it would feel like when a traumatic video is posted that is triggered by an encounter uncomfortably familiar with one(s) you might have had? 

In this episode of As in Heaven, Jim Davis and guest host, Skyler Flowers, welcome Darryl Williamson to continue the conversation on race and justice.Williamson addresses the wide spectrum of opinions on the race issue and our tendency to try to find voices that agree with our preconceived notions. He claims the antidote is a posture of empathetic listening, which he unpacks with examples from his own life in a very pastoral and charitable way. The group discusses:Introduction and background for Darryl (1:25)Understanding the Black experience in America (4:02)Societal institutions and the Black experience (10:39)No monolithic Black perspective or experience (15:24)The bell curve of Black opinion on race and justice (21:55)Processing a spectrum of voices, including social media (24:35)Loving interaction with the full spectrum of opinions (30:14)Encouragement for those on the extremes of the spectrum (35:00)Understanding confirmation bias (41:55)Practicing gospel listening (47:30)Explore more from TGC on the topic of Race. Check out a panel discussion, including Darryl Williamson, titled “Learning from Jesus on Justice.”Discussion Questions:1. On the topic of race, which voices do you most frequently listen to? Where do you listen to them and why? 2. In light of the discussion on a black bell curve, which side of the curve would you place the voices you most frequently listen to? For those black voices whom you disagree with, how do you come to find out about their perspectives?3. What should our posture be when engaging with different voices on this topic, especially those that disagree with us? What are postures that are unhelpful? 4. Do you think it is important to engage with voices across the spectrum of voices? What are ways to do this?5. How should our conversations differ from the world? How should this affect the world around us?

Pastor Darryl Williamson graciously joins us on the podcast today. He's the Lead Pastor of Living Faith Bible Fellowship in Tamp, Florida (glory to God for the scenery) and is also a council member of The Gospel Coalition. In today's episode I interview Pastor Darryl and discuss the story of how he led his church into a multi ethnic congregation instead of remaining homogenous. He shares the challenges and the how-to behind preaching to multiple cultures at the exact same time in the exact same sermon. He shares with us how to preach in such a way that our sermons stick with our people especially when they find themselves in difficult and precarious positions. We spend time talking about how to bring our sermons to bear on peoples lives in a way that is relational and actionable.
