Episode Summary —
Part two continues exploring themes of Christian racial repair.
Pastor James David Gailliard and Dr. Lakeesha Walrond discuss how a theology of repentance and repair around race in America must be central to how Christians answer the Call To Shalom in our time. We discuss what biblical justice means for racial repair in practice, including facing up to the brokenness of truth-telling and how we can repair institutions by repairing souls.
