Asking For A Friend

Ep. 5.2 | Why is ”I don’t see color offensive”


Listen Later

In today's episode of Asking For a Friend, Josh and Chastity, Jessica and Lola discuss the question "Why is I don’t see color offensive". We get to hear from all three ladies about how it’s offensive to them and then are given some steps on how we can do better.

For this series, we are centering on the point of view of the black and brown community in the church as experienced by these three women.

We acknowledge that this is a divisive issue in both the church and our world and we don't have all the answers. We understand there are many views on this topic. These views in the episodes are not necessarily representative of all of LIFEchurch or its leadership, but we believe it's important for all of us to grapple with the complexities of this issue.
