What's it like to be the only Black family in a White church? How can we spot hidden racism, and root it out before it undermines our church? In what ways do we subconsciously marginalize voices of color on Sundays?

In the episode we talk to George and Jontelle Gibson, Black parents and business owners who have spent the majority of their lives in White churches. (One of those churches was the congregation that Amber and I served at for 10 years. Surely we were never complicit in any racism, right? Right?) It's a raw and timely conversation, and we hope it helps you to create a church that reflects the diversity of heaven! -- New Church Hustle is a podcast designed to highlight the big faith and hard work behind every thriving church.
