Bad Seminarians

This week we’re joined by our very good friend Rebecca Carrell, one of the hosts of the podcast Honest Conversations by HeartStrong, to talk about the do’s and don’ts of white allyship. From friendship to failure to truth and to Jesus- Rebecca talks about a heart for justice and to see the flourishing of fellow image-bearers.
