How do we change and grow? Who brings that transformation? Us? God? And how do we even know if we’re growing to become more like Jesus? What would that look like? Join us as we take a deep dive into the topic of spiritual formation this week!

Pastor Adam Penning joins Tiffany and Chris this week to talk about the similarities we share with the Israelite exiles who were living in a foreign land and what we can learn from them as we engage with a culture around us that doesn’t always share our worldview and values.

Often when we have conversations about justice, that conversation centers on white majority culture and what WE think about justice, how we can help those around us, etc. And that’s really helpful. We SHOULD be talking about how we can love and serve those around us and address the injustice we see. But the conversation around justice is much different when you’re talking with those who’ve been marginalized and disadvantaged in some way. Justice is good news. It brings hope. In this week’s episode, Chris and Christian sit down with Pastor Colier McNair to discuss how predominantly black churches might engage with the topic of justice.
