The Church and the Racial Divide
In light of the on-going racial tension in America, many Christian leaders are talking earnestly about racial reconciliation, but many believers don’t understand why this is a Gospel imperative and the average pastor may not know how to explain it. Dan Darling and Trillia Newbell step into this gap with a tremendous resource. They join Chris Brooks to talk about living out the race-transcending Gospel!
