The Crossroads #E002 Matt Furr, Grace in Black and White

This is another episode of Brothers in Christ—a series that explores real stories of faith, brotherhood, and racial reconciliation within the body of Christ.In this episode, we follow Matt, a white college student whose life took an unexpected turn when his girlfriend Heidi introduced him to her all-Black church. What began as a visit became a deeply personal and spiritual journey. Through years of worship, ministry, and friendship—especially with a deeply rooted couple in the congregation—Matt was given a rare and intimate view into the Black church experience.Grace in Black and White tells the story of how Matt’s time in this community transformed his understanding of race, faith, and what it truly means to be part of the Church. From preaching in a new context to raising children influenced by these sacred relationships, this episode offers an honest reflection on identity, belonging, and the bridges we build when we let grace lead.Join us as we continue to explore what it means to be true brothers in Christ—even when we come from very different worlds.
