Welcome to Real Conversations: a space where we discuss the important issues around the country, a space where we tackle the toughest issues that affect the African American community. Each month we will tackle a particular topic such as education, climate change, the elections from an African American (black) perspective. We will frame our discussion around racial disparities and look at what is being done and what could be done. At the end at our conversation, we hope that we have enlightened and empowered to make change in your community.
Ep. 6 Conservative Christian: Followers of Christ or of White Supremacy
I know you heard of the saying “If anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation. The old has gone, the new has come.” In our discussion, we are going to tackle this question: is the Conservative Christian following the teachings of Christ or are they following the teachings of white supremacy? The discussion will be divided into four parts: 1 Womens Rights (Abortion), 2 LGTBQ+, 3 Social Justice, and 4 Gun Violence. We will look at their stance on each of these topics and ask ourselves does it align with the teachings of Christ or teachings of White Supremacy.
Special Guests: Dr. Colleen Batchelder (Leadership Strategist and DEIB Consultant) and Jason Lockhart (Event Organizer)
