This podcast we interview pastor Kevin Long. Pastor Long is the pastor of Metropolitan Missionary Baptist, located at 2815 Sutherland Ave, Indianapolis, IN 46205. Pastor Long gives insight into how God meant us to interact with one another, no matter ethnicity. He gives solid advice on how to deal with racial tensions and discrimination. Love is the key, and God is love.

This season we will take a look at the black and white ethnicity's interactions in everyday American life. We all have our prejudices, and stereotypes. The goal is to make you think and cause change. We all need to grow a little. Evaluate what you think you know, then compare it to what you can prove to be true.
