Learning from our Latino Brothers and Sisters in Christ

The church has much to learn from the Latino and Hispanic community in order to be the bride of Christ. Pastor Rodrigo Cruz from the Nett Church educates us all on the importance of learning from theology developed in Latin America and the joys and challenges of leading a multi-ethnic church.

What does the white church need to hear?

Discipleship is core to the journey into the new humanity in Christ. Pastor David Swanson's book, "Rediscipling the White Church" is focused on this and he shares the practicalities of this in this podcast.

A Religion of Whiteness

The church of Christ would not have made the progress it's made in terms of reconciliation without the work of Dr. Michael Emerson. Dr. Emerson's work has greatly helped the church understand where we are in regard to race and the church. His words are prophetic, challenging, yet filled with hope as God continues to heal the church of racism.
