SEND US A MESSAGE! We'd Love to Chat With you and Hear your thoughts! We'll read them on the next episode.  In this thought-provoking episode, Brandon tackles a sensitive and timely question: Is America's Church RACIST? Brandon explores the complex and often controversial relationship between faith and race in the United States. From the legacy of slavery and segregation to modern-day biases and macroaggressions, we examine the ways in which racism has been perpetuated and perpetuates within Christian hearts. Have we justified hatred by hearkening back to the hatred that preceded it? Is the church truly a beacon of hope and unity, or has it failed to address its own complicity in modern, systemic racism? Listen in and share your thoughts in the comments. Let us know if you also see the growth in ethnic idolatry. Visit Brandon's Church Plant WebsiteSupport the showPlease Rate & Comment!Hosts: Brandon and Daren SmithWebsite: www.blackandblurred.comPatreon: www.patreon.com/blackandblurredPaypal: https://paypal.me/blackandblurredYouTube: Black and Blurred PodcastIG: @BlackandBlurredPodcastX: @Blurred_Podcast

DALLAS (AURN News) — A stark racial divide in homeownership continues across America, with Black buyers representing just 7% of recent home purchases while white buyers account for 83%, according to the newly released National Association of Realtors Profile of Buyers and Sellers for 2024. This racial disparity comes amid broader challenges in housing accessibility, as first-time homebuyers have dropped to a historic low of 24% of all buyers. The financial barriers to entry continue to rise, with median household income for first-time buyers now reaching $97,000 - a $26,000 increase in just two years. The average age of first-time homebuyers has climbed to 38 years old, the highest ever recorded by NAR and a significant shift from the 1980s when most first-time buyers were in their late 20s. These latest numbers show why there are growing concerns about housing affordability and access to homeownership, particularly for Black communities, as market barriers continue to rise.

Bridging Divides Through Faith, Loving as Jesus Loved In a world marked by increasing divisions, embracing faith becomes a powerful incentive for unity and understanding. Drawing inspiration from the teachings of Jesus, who exemplified boundless love and compassion, we find a profound guide on how to navigate societal divides. It is not merely about what we believe but how we embody those beliefs in our actions. Loving as Jesus loved involves recognizing the inherent humanity in every individual, fostering empathy, and transcending differences. Moreover, the art of effective communication plays a pivotal role; it's not just about expressing our thoughts but doing so with kindness and respect. Not every thought needs to be voiced publicly, and the gentle, thoughtful delivery of our words can contribute significantly to bridging gaps and fostering a more harmonious society.

When considering racial reconciliation within the church  Professor Randy Nelson teaches that in order to bridge the divide we must ask two main questions. 1.)

Many places in scripture contain Genealogies - long lists of names and families that lead to the character at hand. Why are these Genealogies important? What do they reveal to the reader?

Not a week goes by that the US isn't rattled by a racially-charged news story. Just last week we reeled and lamented the shooting of young Ralph Yarl, a black teen boy who went to the wrong address in Kansas City to pick up his young brothers. It's tempting to think such headlines have nothing to do with us, or that we as individuals have nothing to offer our national strife. Christians especially might want to shrink back from the conversation, not wanting to become too political. The racial distance and even division we see in our Christian communities testifies that ethnic unity is not a high priority for us as a whole. Dr. Derwin Gray, a pastor of a multiethnic church in North Carolina and author of How to Heal Our Racial Divide: What the Bible Says, and the First Christians Knew, About Racial Reconciliation, says pastors and seminaries have failed to disciple our generation of Christ followers when it comes to God's Word and our diversity. Dr. Gray says, “In western christianity we've turned the gospel into 'Jesus died for your sins and you can go to heaven when you die.' The gospel is more than simply saving individuals. It's saving individuals who are of different ethnicities to bring them into a family… What we've done in America is we've made a package of ‘here's how you can go to heaven when you die' versus ‘how do we become the redeemed new people of God for all time.'”On this episode of All Things we're diving into both the Bible and culture when it comes to ethnic unity and disunity. Dr. Gray refuses to be siloed into one political camp or the other. Rather, his insight and comments are nuanced and laser-focused on the Kingdom of Jesus. We talk about: - Derwin Gray's fascinating life story: how he played football at BYU and then the NFL, how he came to Jesus, his rigorous theological pursuits, and how he—a chronic stutterer—came to establish multiethnic megachurch with his wife in Charlotte, North Carolina. - How our vertical reconciliation to God requires our horizontal reconciliation to all people. - How the Bible is saturated with God's plan for a multiethnic family. - How there are indeed demonic powers at work in the world, seeking to keep us divided. - The cost and joy of pursuing multiethnic ministry. - Identity in Christ alone, especially when you preach against the cultural grain. - How to respond to the shooting of Ralph Yarl—you might be surprised by the multifaceted response Dr. Gray gives here. Like I said, he refuses to be siloed and I really appreciate that!- The benefits of detoxing from media and social media and feasting instead on God's Word. - How the church of Jesus is over 2,000 years old and political parties are new and temporary. Let's be rooted in what will last forever! Recommended Resources:How to Heal Our Racial Divide: What the Bible Says, and the First Christians Knew, about Racial Reconciliation by Dr. Derwin L.
