Travis Michael Fleming sits down with Michael O. Emerson for an honest and engaging conversation about Divided by Faith and the ongoing reality of racial division in the American church. Together, they unpack some of the assumptions many of us carry about the gospel and God’s kingdom, gently challenging listeners to see how a bigger, more holistic understanding might open the door to real change.
Emerson shares why these conversations can be especially tough for long-time Christians—people who care deeply about their faith but may have settled into familiar ways of thinking. They also talk about how living in a racialized society shapes not just our personal views, but the very systems and structures around us.
More than anything, this episode feels like an invitation—an encouragement to pause, reflect, and take meaningful steps forward. It’s a call for the church to grow into a more honest, inclusive, and beautifully diverse community that better reflects the heart of God’s kingdom.
