Racial justice is not a political issue, it’s a gospel issue. Despite the Bible’s clear call for racial unity, equality and justice, many white Christians don’t what the Bible says. In this episode, Patrick and Keith talk about the Bible’s teachings on racial justice in light of the tragic killing of George Floyd. At the end they focus on how their fellow white Christians should respond. Keith and Patrick have read many books on this topic and haven’t found one book that we agree with everything on… but that’s the nature of all books!
