Why Churches Must Lead in Racial Reconciliation

Welcome back to What If I’m Wrong? A show where we might not give you the answers, but we will ask some really good questions. On today’s episode, we’re joined by Josh Clemons, executive director of OneRace Movement. Today we’re continuing in our series on leadership. In this week’s episode we’re talking about why churches MUST lead in racial reconciliation.  Heather shares about the word reconciliation—and how it means making things right again.  Join host Heather Thompson Day and submission specialist Haley Hoskins for a conversation on how we as the Body of Christ should be leading in these spaces of racial reconciliation. In Day in the Bible, Heather reflects on 2 Corinthians 5:18-19, Paul wrote these words to remind the church that reconciliation isn't just a divine transaction - it’s a divine calling.
