In this episode of Teaology, we explore the profound legacy and power of the Black Church and its pivotal role in shaping racial justice, social movements, and theological resilience. From its roots in Africa to its leadership during the Civil Rights Movement, the Black Church has been a beacon of hope, resistance, and empowerment. We reflect on how the church’s historical commitment to justice, rooted in faith, continues to inspire us today. We also address whether Christianity is the white man’s religion, the repentance needed from the white evangelical church, the challenges facing racial unity within the church, the rise of apathy towards justice movements, and the impact of today's racial tensions. Join us as we discuss the need for a renewed commitment to racial justice and unity, anchored in the enduring power of Black faith and activism.

Our culture is constantly changing around us. A new story, new song, or new idea is being tweeted, posted or published every other minute. As the world changes rapidly around us, how do we respond? How do we stay rooted in our faith amidst a myriad of conversations? How do we stay grounded in truth when so much in the media is manipulated? How do we talk about our beliefs in a culture that may not feel the same way?

Conversations about faith and culture meet right here on Teaology, the podcast. Teaology is all about communities coming together through conversation. We find common ground when we communicate well.
