The phrase “out of sight, out of mind” shouldn’t be a reality in the lives of Christians as we think about others’ suffering. This is especially true of the persecuted church. So, at our MLK50 conference Karen Ellis shared a message titled “To The Ends of the Earth: The Great Commission, the Global Persecuted Church, and Racial Unity.” We hope this message leads you to pray consistently for our brothers and sisters around the world.Subscribe here: iTunes | Google Play | Stitcher | Tune in Listen to more episodes of The ERLC Podcast at erlc.com/podcast.

Racial unity is an outworking of the gospel and should be a mark of the church. Yet, Christians continue to be filled with strife and tension over this issue. And it’s especially sad because it’s about more than a problem; it’s about those who God has made in his image. So, at our Leadership Summit, pastor H.B. Charles Jr. called the church to peace through the person of Jesus in his talk “Tearing Down the Dividing Wall: How the Gospel Shapes Racial Reconciliation.” We hope this talk convicts and encourages you.Subscribe here iTunes | Google Play | Stitcher | Tune in Listen to more episodes of The ERLC Podcast at erlc.com/podcast.

Benjamin Watson is known to many as an accomplished NFL player, but more importantly, he is a child of God who is deeply committed to the gospel and its implications.

We hope this message sheds new light on your understanding of both of these issues.Subscribe here iTunes | Google Play | Stitcher | Tune in Listen to more episodes of The ERLC Podcast at erlc.com/podcast.
