I know what you're thinking... We are not reopening the church YET!

Join in and listen to two friends having a conversation about racial injustice nationally and locally in their community.

To quote her from this podcast episode, she says, one of the most important things for white people is to "vocalize when blackness is victimized." The "goal is not to change anyone's mind but to stand up and say what they're doing or saying is wrong." Thank you Ariana for joining Ben on this week's episode of Faith Revisited!
