EP 14 Part 3 Beyond Black and White: The Critical Role the Christian Church Plays in Eradicating Racism

EP 14 Part 3 Beyond Black and White: The Critical Role the Christian Church Plays in Eradicating Racism   - Christians all over the world seem to have been united in their revulsion over the killing of George Floyd, and faith leaders from across the theological spectrum have spoken out about the lessons they think Christians should draw from the incident.   After a ton of positive feedback on our last two episodes we thought it would be beneficial to sit down with our pastor Drew Karschner to discuss his thoughts and the role of the church as it pertains to diversity and racism.  Especially with some of the history of the church and racism.  A great book to read on that is linked below.  "The Color of Compromise."     Find out what the Bible says as well as Alexis Arnold open up about her feelings and thoughts on this subject in this weeks episode.   - - Part 1:  https://anchor.fm/onestepfurther/episodes/Episode-12-Beyond-Black--White-A-mixed-Couples-Discussion-on-Recent-Events-wSpecial-Guest-Alexis-Arnold-ef55t5  - - Part 2: https://anchor.fm/onestepfurther/episodes/EP-13-Beyond-Black-and-White-Part-2-What-are-WE-telling-our-CHILDREN-efosd7  - - Drew is married to Ashley and they have three children - Joelle, Malachi, and Ruby-Kate.
