Last week we began a conversation on the Church’s response to racism, asking the ever important question: "how did we get here?" In Episode 3, we dig deeper, exploring our current moment. Is racism still a thing? Does it warrant addressing?

Today’s episode kicks off a short series exploring the American evangelical response to racism, asking, "How did we get here?" We explore the rise of the Black church, because its very existence reveals a lot about where we are today.

We recorded a special episode after the events of January 6. On the agenda is Christian nationalism: what it is, why it matters, and what we need to do about it. 

For further reading on Christian nationalism, we referenced Taking America Back for God by Samuel Perry and Andrew Whitehead.
