  • Sermon - January 17, 2021 - Acts 1:1-12

    January 17, 2021 marks the official launch of Hope Hell's Kitchen. While you can view the entire service on our YouTube channel, this podcast features Pastor Chuck's sermon on Acts 1:1-12, and his preparation for the Lord's Supper.

  • Interview with Daniel Hill - Part 2 of 2

    This is the second part of my conversation with Daniel Hill. We continue to discuss whiteness, the sickness of racism, and the complicity of the church, and he minces no words when it comes to his own experience of writing White Awake and continuing on this journey of reconciliation work.

    “I think it’s really important that the attitude is marked with humility,” Hill says of white brothers and sisters on this journey. And as he adds, “When we talk about being allies, we’re not talking about being allies with a certain political group or even a certain group of people of Color; we’re talking about being allies with Jesus.”

  • Interview with Daniel Hill - Part 1 of 2

    Around the time when I interviewed Jemar Tisby, I also had the opportunity to sit down with Daniel Hill, an author, pastor, and church planter from Chicago. While he was in New York City, we grabbed a few minutes to talk about whiteness and Christianity, something he is very familiar with, both personally and professionally. Like the one-on-one with Jemar, this conversation was recorded in the fall of 2018 and is not just seeing the light of day. Sadly, like Jemar’s prophetic words, this interview with Daniel is perhaps more pertinent to the health and future of the American church today than it was two years ago.

  • Interview with Jemar Tisby - Part 2 of 2
    In this second part of my interview with Jemar Tisby—which took place in the fall of 2018—the author, CEO, podcast host, and historian gets real about what it means to care about racial justice, and what his experience has been like in the American church.
    “I do lose confidence in individual Christians and individual people,” he says, “and I say that out of experience. I’ve experienced betrayal. I’ve experienced the silence of people who have said they’re allies … this has taught me to be cautious. I try never to simply assume that someone will be my enemy, but I do try to exercise a bit of caution … yeah, I love you, but I don’t automatically trust you.”
    “I also distinguish between individual Christians and the church whom Christ said the gates of Hell would not prevail against. I have hope in the church because I have hope in Christ.”

  • Interview with Jemar Tisby - Part 1 of 2

    Though this conversation with Jemar Tisby took place in the fall of 2018, his words and guidance may be needed more today than ever before. While Tisby's The Color of Compromise has become a New York Times bestseller—and a regular recommendation for anyone interested in learning more about the long history of the church and racism—when we sat down to chat, the book hadn't been released yet.

    This is the first episode of Hope in Hell's Kitchen, and it is the first of two conversations with Tisby.
