Pass The Mic

Tyler and Jemar broadcast live and answer the following questions sent in from the audience: What eschatological hope do you have for the future of multi-ethnic churches? What would reperational work look like in a city like Memphis?

How would you explain the intersection of gender and faith in the midst of the gender revolution?

What are Tyler’s thoughts on the Black Panther villains? (follow up to the Truth’s Table crossover) How do you respond to people of color who deny the existence of systemic injustice and white supremacy? What do you say to a person who says justice is only for heaven?
