We have a special conversation for you today! We’ve been talking about the “quiet exodus” for many years, but what about when your stand for dignity forces you out? That was the case of Zee Johnson, a worship pastor in Texas who was removed from her position for speaking out about injustice. She sat down with Combing The Roots Podcast host Ally Henny to tell her story and hopefully encourage others who are in the same position. This conversation is important! Listen carefully and share widely.
The Witness is a non-profit, faith-based media organization that engages issues of religion, race, justice, and culture from a biblical perspective. The Witness consciously draws on the expansive black church tradition to address matters of personal faith while also speaking to issues of public righteousness through blog posts, feature-length articles, podcasts, and live reporting.
What about when my white church is silent about black dignity and racial justice because they feel a need to stand with the law enforcement members of their congregation? How do I answer the “Blue Lives Matter” defense?
