As our wide-ranging conversation with Dr. John Hardin continues, we explore the past, present, and future of the Black church through the lens of history, theology, and social justice. The conversation examines how figures like Martin Luther King Jr. are often misunderstood or selectively quoted, and how prosperity preaching and oversimplified theology can dilute the church’s prophetic voice. Dr. Hardin and host, Ryan Dearbone also discuss the tension between making faith “plain” and confronting the complex realities of race, justice, mental health, and leadership in today’s world. As churches become more educated, more integrated, and more influenced by technology, what is gained—and what risks are being lost?
