On this episode, we honor the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
MLK Day comes every year on the third Monday in January. MLK's legacy has left a lasting impact that reverberates in our history, is made tangible in our present, and echoes in our future. The year 2020, and now 2021, have been tumultuous for our nation in terms of racial tensions. Racial tensions have been the epitome of who America is since its inception. Some have said that the last 5-6 years have been the worst, in terms of race relations, on this side of the Civil Rights Movement. This has been expressed frequently and most often by the minority leaders in the American church.
We are joined by Pastor Bryan Loritts who shines light on some of these realities and helps us see with a Gospel lens that which is so easy to see through the lens of the world. Bryan is a long time pastor who is currently the teaching pastor at The Summit Church in Raleigh/Durham, NC. Bryan Loritts is a great speaker, an author, and a committed ambassador of reconciliation. He values the multiethnic church and routinely uses his prophetic voice to call God's people the see people how God sees them.
Check out this episode for a semi-history lesson, a sober look at where we are today, and a gospel hope to lean into.
