Race, Religion + Riots // Righteous Anger Pt 2 Jun 12, 2020

Show notes

This is part two of Pastor Andy and Christy Cass's conversation with Chris and Sarah Griffith. Church planters in Chicago, Illinois give us a little more insight on what it means for them to apply righteous anger in their own lives and those around them. Not only is it important for us to speak up as the church and christians but also just as important to really listen to those around us and hear the perspectives of the many while staying true to who God has called us to be. You'll hear Chris say this and we couldn't agree more "It's not a black or white problem but a HUMAN problem"

Yet, ultimately there is one goal in mind - what is the Lord saying and how can we get there while also implementing his heart for our community and those around us along the way.
