And as simple as that may sound, it just doesn't happen. And so when I don't know other people, then it's easy for me to sit here and believe the headlines when it's negative about them or believe everything's okay.
Imagine sitting down with two passionate voices who aren't afraid to tackle tough questions about today's Christianity. In this episode of 'The Sober Truth', George Wood invites Tommy Phillips to dive deep into how the church can reclaim its role as a place of healing. They don't shy away from discussing where the church may have lost its way and how it can make things right again.
Tommy Phillips shares his hands-on experiences, like partnering exclusively with black and Latino-owned businesses as a form of reparations within his church. This isn't just talk; it's about real actions making a difference. George and Tommy also reflect on the impact of evangelicalism in America, emphasizing the need for the church to support people of color and become more inclusive. They discuss the importance of presence and community, especially during times when many feel disconnected.
By challenging harmful beliefs and focusing on true healing, they paint a picture of a church that welcomes everyone, no matter their differences. This episode is a heartfelt call to action for anyone interested in the future of faith communities.
