In this episode of The Just Life, Benjamin sits down with historian, author, and speaker Dr. Jemar Tisby to discuss the inseparable link between faith and justice. Together, they dive deep into the American church’s complicated history with racism and how understanding the past is essential for interpreting the present.
Jemar challenges the traditional narrative of the Jim Crow era, reframing it as a time of Black institution building and resilience. They also tackle hot-button issues like DEI, the “Marxist” label in evangelical circles, and the difference between “repeating” and “rhyming” history. Whether you are looking for language to articulate your experiences or seeking practical steps to make wrong things right, this conversation offers clarity, courage, and hope.
