In this episode of Around the Block, Pastor T and Duke Kwon continue their conversation by discussing the power of tears and how they help us see things with moral clarity. Duke emphasizes that unless we collectively weep with repentance and sorrow over the evil that has been perpetrated upon the African-American community, we will never be able to ask the right questions or center the right people. Tears have the capacity to communicate joy, sorrow, and wonder, and they also help us gain a deeper understanding of our painful histories and wrongs. The more painful our lives and histories, the more weeping should be present in our lives. Tune in to this thought-provoking conversation to explore the transformative power of tears.
