Sit down and get comfortable, or uncomfortable, as three friends talk about some sensitive issues. Joe and Jimmy are joined by Travell Rounds for an hour long episode where Travell shares his recent run-in with the cops, and this becomes the start of a conversation on differing experiences of blacks and whites within the same city. Conversations like this can help us learn how to listen to each other and understand one another’s experiences. Joe predicts 1.2% of our audience will unsubscribe half way through this episode. How did Travell wind up at Redeemer Fellowship? Did he really start preaching at 9 years old? Why should white people pay careful attention to the experiences of African Americans? What about “white privilege?” Plus, Travell thanks Steve Furtick for exposing him to Matt Chandler.

Joe and Jimmy are back to talk about the Law of God from the 1689 Confession (Chapter 19, paragraph 6).

Plus Joe doesn’t know how to do Labor Day.
