Faithfully Magazine talks with "White Lies" author and pastor Daniel Hill on the subject of "the White moderate" in this interview that was streamed live on Facebook. Our Associate Editor Timothy Isaiah Cho hosts this March 8, 2021, conversation.

Cho originally spoke with Hill about his book, "White Lies: Nine Ways to Expose and Resist the Racial Systems That Divide Us," in December 2020. That Q&A was published on faithfullymagazine.com under the headline "Interview: ‘To Love Jesus Is to Hate White Supremacy’—Daniel Hill Talks ‘White Lies’ Book (https://faithfullymagazine.com/interv...​). An excerpt of that interview:

"In Fall 2017, Faithfully Magazine interviewed Daniel Hill about his book 'White Awake: An Honest Look at What It Means to Be White.' Now, after years engaging with White Christians to help them embark on their own racial and cultural awakening, Hill has published 'White Lies: Nine Ways to Expose and Resist the Racial Systems That Divide Us.'

"Hill, the founding pastor of River City Community Church in the Humboldt Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, gives his readers a sequel to White Awake with practical steps to confront white supremacy."

In this Facebook Live Q&A, Hill responds to questions from viewers.

Thanks for listening.

It chronicles the life of a daring young African American woman, Teresa Hairston, a single mom raising three children and working three jobs. She only had $300 to invest in her dream. But, with tremendous odds stacked against her, she boot-strapped her way to a successful media conglomerate that produced Gospel Today Magazine, ‘America’s #1 Christian Lifestyle Magazine.’” Learn more at: https://books2liveby.com/product/unstoppable/.
