Racial tensions in America are as high within the church as outside of it. My guest Latasha Morrison believes Jesus followers must become the leaders in the conversation on racial reconciliation. That we must, \\u201cbuild a bridge\\u201d to bring justice, healing and transformation.

\\n

\\u201cIt starts with awareness and then acknowledging the pain and brokenness. We didn\'t create it, but it is all of our responsibility to be a part of the solution. And no one gets an \\u2018out\\u2019 here.\\u201d

Latasha founded the organization Be the Bridge in 2016 to encourage racial reconciliation among all ethnicities, to promote racial unity in America, and to equip others to do the same. Now she\\u2019s written a book of the same name that comes out this week.\\xa0

\\n

We talk in depth about racial reconciliation, biblical justice and the diversity of God\\u2019s kingdom. It\\u2019s not an easy conversation, but it\\u2019s a necessary one. I pray you will listen with an open mind and heart for all God wants to do to bring unity to the body of Christ.\\xa0

\\n

\\u201cEvery culture is an expression of who God is and not one ethnicity can represent the totality of who God is. We serve a diverse God. If you\\u2019re thinking that God looks just like you and talks just like you, remember, Jesus didn\'t speak English. Sometimes we need a reality check on that. Just because something is different doesn\'t make it wrong.\\u201d
