Taking time to discuss, listen, and wrestle through the chaos of the world, and the daily implications of faith.
Given what you've seen in society, if you could only make one change in society, what would it be?
Given what you've seen, if you could only make one change, what change would you make to policing?
It's easy to critique when you look back, and there should be opportunities to review and get better, but a slow motion replay doesn't give all the information.
There is a sense of "we" in the black community that white people often have a hard time understanding. Here we talk a little bit about the implications of that both personally and Biblically.
How do you deal with the fact that you want to serve and protect not just your community but your children... who may be hearing just how terrible you are?
Some suggest that the social construct of "race" means that we need to downplay the "racial tensions" for the sake of clarity. But does a social construct mean that it needs to be treated with less attention?

Does Social Media play any positive role in the issues that we are dealing with, or are we being imposters behind our posts that don't actually do anything?
Our culture doesn't do the hardwork of listening. Instead we scroll past headline and look for soundbites to affirm our opinions. What will it take to change this? I think it starts with actually listening.
Here we discuss what is Juneteenth and process what we can do to be a better picture of God's kingdom and address the issues that our country is facing.
