Defying Culture to Follow Christ with Jamal Johnson True Vs. Truth Podcast
-
- Christianity
Jamal Johnson, one of the pastors at Progressive Baptist Church and Biblica partner for Reach4Life, joins us in a conversation about culture. The culture of our country and our community doesn’t often align with God’s word, leading to groups of people, especially Black people in America, to pull away from going to church or being active Christians. Tackling the tough topics of racism, slavery, politics, sexuality, and gentrification, we break down the broad topic of culture using Christ as our guide.
