Episode 216 - How to Heal Our Racial Divide with Derwin Gray

In a world so broken, it is no wonder that division can be seen everywhere, even within the walls of the Church. The past few years especially have shone a light on how pervasive the sin of racism still exists to this day within our communities and within the body of Christ. Through his own personal experiences and his study of God's word, former NFL player turned pastor, Derwin Gray, has a vision for how healing can come where there is so much pain when it comes to the topic of race. The early Church proves that God's desire for His people is diversity and healing our divides is possible through the power of Christ's resurrection. Davey talks with Pastor Derwin Gray about what it looks like to heal our racial divide, encouragement for those who have experienced racial trauma, how to deal with the sin of racism in our hearts and a hope for a future in which we all see the beauty in God's design. Let this conversation embolden you to become an agent of change in your church, your community, and your home.   Website: https://www.derwinlgray.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/derwinlgray/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DerwinLGray Twitter: https://twitter.com/DerwinLGray Book: How to Heal Our Racial Divide: What the Bible Says, And What the First Christians knew, about Racial Reconciliation
