Turning the script on the most segregated hour.
When Martin Luther King Jr. famously called the 11 o’clock hour on Sunday the most segregated hour in America, it illuminated the great division in our country. Decades after the Civil Rights Movement, churches remain more segregated than neighborhoods and public schools. How does this play into the polarized climate of our nation today? What would happen if Christians bridged the gap?
This episode of Difficult Conversations features candid discussions between members and leaders of Mosaic Church, a multiethnic church in Little Rock, Arkansas, on the messiness and the beauty that comes from working and worshiping with people from different backgrounds. And Pastor Mark DeYmaz shares what compelled him to leave a comfortable, culturally homogenous church to plant Mosaic in the first place.
You’ll also hear Pastor Derwin Gray’s journey from pro-football player to multiethnic church planter and his challenge for Christians to view the world through the lens of Jesus’ kingdom — not race, politics or any other thing. Lisa Fields, president of Jude 3 Project, calls attention to why this matters for the Church’s witness.
