Have Black People Been Praying the Wrong Prayers?

For generations, Black people have turned to prayer in the face of racism, oppression, and injustice. We've prayed for protection, deliverance, peace, and for the hearts of those who oppress us to change. But what happens when those hearts don't change? When oppression is intentional, profitable, and deeply rooted in systems of power? In this thought-provoking episode of Intersection Podcast with Bummi Anderson, we examine the relationship between faith, prayer, justice, and the Black Church. Have we placed too much emphasis on endurance, forgiveness, and reconciliation while neglecting accountability, restitution, and justice? What if we haven't been praying wrong—but we've been praying incomplete prayers? This isn't a call to stop praying. It's a challenge to rethink what we're asking God to do. Join the conversation.
