Revelation 7:9 Conversations
We are a new podcast talking about race and justice and the church! It is for all who share our passion--what we call a Revelation 7:9 vision--based on that beautiful vision at the end of history of all nations, ethnicities, and languages worshipping before the Lamb of God. These are conversations with thinkers, authors, teachers, and leaders in the church, to hear a different story of what God is doing in our world.
Let’s face it, these are hard times, when people are taught to shout down different stories, rather than to listen generously. But when we do, I think you will find through these stories the beauty of God breaking through that we all need.

Just in time for award season, Jin, Amanda and Jacilyn do movie-talk about Ryan Coogler's Sinners with historian Jemar Tisby! Jemar is the NYT-bestselling author of The Color of Compromise, How to Fight Racism, and The Spirit of Justice, but also a film buff who helps us to remember how movies can help stoke our prophetic imagination. Join us in this fun conversation, as Dr. Tisby pulls apart the historical intricacies interweaved into the movie Sinners--Jim Crow South, Mississippi blues, Delta Chinese--all wrapped up in a vampire-genre, that helps to make a very modern point.
