Episode Synopsis

EP 13 - In this episode, I’m answering some of the big, tender questions that often come up in conversations around biblical unity and justice—questions about white shame, how to disciple our kids through cultural confusion, and what it means to navigate politics and repentance through a kingdom lens.Chris Masters, Co-Director of The School of Discipleship in Smyrna, GA, and I talk about how shame doesn’t come from God, how corporate sin affects us all, not just those who caused it, and why sin, not racism, is the real enemy of the global church. I also share personal stories, moments of healing, and practical ways I’ve learned to respond when unity feels hard or even impossible.If you’ve ever asked:How do I teach my kids without passing on shame?What do I do with my pain from past church divisions?How can I repent for something my ancestors or community did?What does biblical justice really look like in today’s world?…then this episode is for you.Connect with the UpRising MinistryA Prayer to Reflect God’s Heart in Hard InteractionsBecome a part of The Needle Mover’s Effect Communityneedlemovers.org/connectJoin Us in Building Beautiful Justice!Partner with us to create more impactful formation resources by becoming a Financial Friend of the Beautiful Justice Podcast.
