Author, Professor, and Public Theologian, Dr. Esau McCaulley helps the Be the Bridge community make sense of God in the context of a racialized society in this podcast episode. He shares part of his own family’s story and lived experience of systemic injustice. And he talks about how the church in America hasn’t reckoned with its sin. Latasha and Esau laugh together and share words of hope as they talk about the hope of Advent and work of God.

Quotes:

“The impact of systemic racism is up close and personal with people that you know, and a lot of times we just don't talk about it.” -Latasha Morrison

“I think there's this fear that a deep confession is not something that the American church can survive.” -Esau McCaulley

“Repentance exists, because it presupposes sin. And if we can't repent, then we can't experience the fullness of redemption.” -Esau McCaulley
