He shares insights on navigating the often-controversial terrain of race and CRT in Christian communities, offering practical ways to address racial bias and foster inclusivity. Together, they discuss how examining church structures through a CRT lens can reveal hidden biases, challenging conventional approaches to faith, culture, and identity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Photo by &lt;a target="_blank" href="https://unsplash.com/@jontyson?utm_content=creditCopyText&amp;#38;utm_medium=referral&amp;#38;utm_source=unsplash"&gt;Jon Tyson&lt;/a&gt; on &lt;a target="_blank" href="https://unsplash.com/photos/brown-wooden-human-face-carved-decor-qn6mBa0twDY?utm_content=creditCopyText&amp;#38;utm_medium=referral&amp;#38;utm_source=unsplash"&gt;Unsplash&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This is a public episode.
