Ken welcomes New York Times best-selling author, historian, podcaster, and thought leader, Jemar Tisby. Jemar shares his background as an African American who became a Christian when he was invited to a primarily white high school youth group. At Notre Dame, as an undergraduate, he was introduced to Reformed theology - his career has taken him to Jerusalem, and then the Deep South as an elementary school teacher with Teach for America. They discuss his powerful book, The Color of Compromise, and how the church's historical complicity with racism - from the early days of slavery until now. They talk about the myth of the Lost Cause, the Reconstruction era, Jim Crow, as well as Black Lives Matter, the tension between the white evangelical church's support for Trumpism and the battle for justice and equality. Jemar’s passion brings perspective and direction. SHOW NOTES
