Race and Justice

Conversations about racial justice are top of everyone’s minds, so we sit down with guests Timi, Berley, and Hakeem about searching for Jesus’ heart for reconciliation. They unpack the reality of racial injustice that has permeated the media over the past few weeks (though has been going on for centuries here in America). We get to hear a bit of their story, how they're feeling, and some calls to action that are practical for Westside and beyond.
