In 1970, racial division was very real, and it’s all anyone wanted to talk about, particularly in Atlanta, where a young Tony Evans was more than up to the challenge. This was a period of testing for Tony. A period where he was refined by the heat of the socio-political climate he found himself in. After an intense few years of street preaching and racial debates, of being a newlywed and new father, Tony’s time at Carver was drawing to a close. He was faced with the question every college graduate is peppered with: what’s next? But given Tony’s passion for both the Word and for learning, the choice wasn’t really what, but where. In the third episode of Start to Finish: The Life and Ministry of Tony Evans, you will hear about Tony’s transition to Dallas Theological Seminary and the access he had to conservative Biblical training his black mentors had been denied. You will also hear about the pressures of being a student and having a family at home and about his connection to the local church and the NBEA – the National Black Evangelical Association.
