Dhati Lewis joins Kevin for a conversation about pursuing gospel racial reconciliation in our families, work places, lives, and communities. Dhati is the lead pastor of Blueprint Church in Atlanta, GA, the Vice President of the NAMB, husband and father of seven, an author of multiple books, and a needed voice in the area of reconciliation. Kevin and Dhati tackle why reconciliation is a gospel issue, how it affects our disciple making, and how we as believers in Christ Jesus can biblically and practically be advocates of racial reconciliation. As we listen to others' stories, reflect personally, empathize corporately, and pursue reconciliation, we can better advocate for the solution of the Gospel in our own lives and the lives around us. We hope and pray this conversation spurs you on and leads you to action in your own life. You do not want to miss this!

Eugene Redmond is a poet, professor, educator, and legendary luminarie who has told the story of East St Louis for decades. Laninya Cason served as an associate judge on the Twentieth Judicial Circuit Court in Illinois from 2003 to 2015. Dhati Kennedy's family fled the East St Louis Race War, crossing the Mississippi aboard a homemade raft. Kennedy is a percussionist, activist, and educator. His voice and beats serve as the soundtrack to Tangazo. Your host, Hank Thompson, has spent more than 35 years on the air in the St Louis region, covering sports, politics, race, and religion, discussing current events and ensuring that the area's history is shared with the next generation. Here's a look at how the conversation went: Part 1: "Race War", not "Race Riots." Get to know the guests and learn about circumstances that lead to this horrible period in our region's history. (0:00-16:00) Part 2: Phoenix rising. Out of the ashes of this race war, new communities and artists emerged. (16:15-27:30) Part 3: "Black people have been called lazy ever since we stopped working for free." To understand the Race War, you've got to understand how and why African-Americans migrated north in the decades following the Civil War. (27:45-36:00) Part 4: More than talk, "I just want some action." 100 years after these riots and 150 years after the end of slavery, these scars still shape our society - what's next? (36:00-47:00) Helpful tip: According to Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, "A kwansaba is seven lines of seven words, with each word containing not more than seven letters."

In this episode, I interview Dhati Lewis. I love Dhati's heart and vision for the church and the mission; especially his passion for living the Gospel out in an urban context. Dhati moved from Dention, TX to Atlanta with his family and 40 other people to plant Blueprint Church of Atlanta. He believes deeply that the local church is the visible expression of the Gospel in our culture. Dhati and I plumb the depths of identity crisis of men and the church, diversity and unity, urbanization and gentrification, neighborhood missiology, differences and similarities between rural and urban mission and biblical hospitality. I know you'll be greatly empowered, equipped and encouraged by Dhati's unique story and inspiring passion for the church, the mission and the city.
