Many Black people avoid Christianity because it's "the white man's religion." And honestly, that sounds like a valid reason. White Evangelicalism in America has been historically linked with racism, nationalism, and hatred, so how do we reconcile that as Black believers? Especially when our representation is few and far between. How do we love when it's not always reciprocated ?

As imperfect Christians, we often feel like we don't deserve God's love, so how do we deal with this feeling of unworthiness?
