After last week’s powerful conversation with Monica Parris on “Let’s Talk About Racism (Pt. 2)”, we were nationally confronted with the senseless, stomach-turning murder of George Floyd, another unarmed black man. We watched a white police officer pin his knee against Floyd’s throat for over 5 minutes as he pleaded, “I can’t breathe”. As a result, the world is unraveling. National protests, demands for justice, and riots have ensued. It seems that we’ve reached a tipping point in America.
The question Adam & Matt seek to answer in today’s episode is this: How should White Christians respond to the reality of racism?
Black & brown brothers and sisters have lended their voices, been vulnerable, and opened up their hearts. They have shared their pain. How do we respond? Being grieved is a start, but how do we move from empathy to action? What can we do to put racism to death? How can we possibly affect lasting change?
