In light of the sudden unprecedented, tumultuous & complex events of the past two weeks with the bloodiest conflict for the past 183yrs in South Africa, with more than 330 people losing their lives and with damage & losses spiralling to figures in the region of R50billion.  As Elders of Reconciliation Road Church, we decided to have a raw conversation that we hope will help our church members process the events we have all experienced but experienced from such different vantage points.  What have we identified in ourselves, what are we lamenting, thanking God for, what might we need to repent of, what is God saying & how do we go forward with hope and trust firmly rooted in our faith in Jesus Christ?

In this episode, we discuss what we can do practically as to move forward personally, as a church, community & nation from damaged past?

In this episode, we ask whether we can truly have hope for healing? We consider how healing could be activated in our community and consider why the Gospel is the only hope for the healing our nation needs.

In this episode, we delve into the Black Lives Matter experience of 2020 and consider why what happened in the USA has relevance or irrelevance for us here in SA. We also consider the role of social media and ask what wisdom looks like for the Christ-Follower.

In this episode, we discuss the ongoing inertia of privilege and consider issues like repentance, forgiveness, reconciliation & restitution as Christ-followers as we pursue healing & hope.

In this episode, we discuss the things we do that shut down the conversations we need to have. Things like fear, white guilt & black anger, low CQ…) and consider how we can overcome these obstacles for helpful dialogue.
