Episode 360 - Confronting Systemic Racism to Bring Healing and Restoration with Latasha Morrison

How do we bring forth a heart of redemption in the broken systems of this world? What is our responsibility as believers when it comes to healing the racial divide and systemic injustices?Latasha Morrison is passionate about helping Christians be at the forefront of racial healing. As an author, speaker, and founder of Be the Bridge, an equipping organization that helps individuals and groups in taking steps towards racial reconciliation, Lastasha has taught people what it means to confront the ways in which we as a culture and as a people have harmed others because of their race. Her work has brought both awareness and actionable ways for people to reach across racial lines and heal together. Her latest book, Brown Faces, White Spaces: Confronting Systemic Racism to Bring Healing and Restoration, looks at the ways in which our systems hold deeply entrenched beliefs that need to be rooted out so that there can be justice and fairness for all. In this conversation, Aubrey talks with Latasha about why it is so important to have a heart of reconciliation as believers, the way racism within systems continues to impact people to this day, and how our hope must remain in God and not people.If you've ever wondered if we can truly experience racial healing and reconciliation, this episode will encourage you that it is possible and that we each have a role and responsibility to step into this conversation with compassion, empathy, and a heart bent towards healing the racial division that exists.   Website: https://latashamorrison.com/ www.bethebridge.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/latashamorrison/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/latashamorrison Book: Brown Faces, White Spaces: Confronting Systemic Racism to Bring Healing and Restorationhttps://a.co/d/gVUMpq6 Learn more about a Certified Nothing is Wasted Coach can help you in your healing journey: nothingiswasted.com/coaching Learn more about The Healing Leader Roundtable on March 6th in Indianapolis here: nothingiswasted.com/roundtable Want to see healing and life transformation after the pain you've encountered?
