RACIAL JUSTICE

As we seek continue the conversation in the area of racial justice we must continue to learn and listen so we want to offer you some resources that we’ve found helpful. It goes without saying, but we’ll say it anyways: you might not agree with everything from this list. That would be rather boring if you did agree with it all, right? But you won’t agree all the time, and those are the precise moments where God might be calling you to press in – rather than turn away.
One more note: remember that the goal isn’t to learn for the sake of argument or “being right”. Rather, God invites us to learn in order to love him and our neighbor better. That means seeking to understand the experiences of our brothers and sisters of color, especially when and where they are suffering. That means understanding where we’ve fallen short of loving them well, both personally and corporately – as individuals, and as a nation. And that means taking concrete steps of repentance that move you towards others in the name of Jesus.
