The Gospel Way - Marshall Blalock

How do you respond when your community faces racial tension and a harrowing history? Pastor Marshall Blalock of First Baptist Church Charleston reflects on leading a 17th-century church through a modern movement of racial reconciliation. In the aftermath of the nearby Emanuel shooting in 2015, Marshall witnessed the power of gospel-rooted forgiveness—and the importance of relationships. He and Ed Litton discuss the challenges of bridge-building, the false peaks that discourage progress, and why reconciliation must be led by the Church. Through it all, Marshall reminds us: real change begins with the enduring hope of the gospel.
