We discuss topics that have been traditionally marginalized and silenced within the Church, specifically surrounding the ideas of Social Justice. With a heart to see God’s kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven, we believe one of the ways we work towards that is by striving to create a more just and more loving world around us. The conversations we have are not exhaustive, but they are a foundation for a life of love and justice.

    Rediscipling The White Church (With David Swanson)

    In this conversation with Pastor & Author David Swanson, we talk about the ways the white church needs to be rediscipled, why it's necessary, and how it would work. David Swanson is the Pastor of New Community Covenant Church in Chicago, IL, as well as the author of the book "Rediscipling The White Church."
