Our favorite resources that are not to be missed.
A moving, impassioned sermon by Progressive Baptist Church's (Chicago, IL) Charlie Dates who says that racism in America is a fundamental theological issue as some people don't see that humans are unique and are created by God.
Even though the audio is poor at times, this is one of the best discussions on race we have heard. The participants, who have lived and are living through this seemingly ever changing situation, challenge the listener to educate one's self, lament and then take action. When you are done make sure to check out part 2.
A raw, openhearted reply by an Black American man after he is asked how he is doing after seeing another Black American man killed at the hands of a cop.
In part 1 and clocking in at just under 18 minutes VeggieTales creator Phil Vischer discusses some of the systems that were put in place by the American government to harm the black community. In part 2 Vischer answers the four questions he was asked the most. Accessible, easy to follow and highly recommended.
Rapper and Del Ray Baptist (Alexandria, VA) pastor Shai Linne makes a passionate case for ethnic unity based on Biblical principles centered on the gospel along with grace, unity, patience, humility and bearing with one another in love. One of our favorite resources.
