Homework assignment
A new podcast coming soon called We Should Talk featuring Keitron and Tina Fountain and JP and Julie Jobe. Join us as we discuss issues regarding race in our current situation, seeking to understand the past and hoping for a better future. All of this predicated and based on the fact that we love one another as family in Christ.
Our hope is that this podcast will encourage others to join in the conversation that will strive towards unity and love as we work to advance the Kingdom of God and His standards in the world around us. No one is perfect and we are not experts—but we are willing to listen and learn together. Years of not addressing these issues hasn’t moved us far enough forward, and so we feel it’s time that WE SHOULD TALK.
If you have questions or comments that you would like us to discuss, please email them to WeShouldTalk@ghff.net. We will keep your name confidential, so please ask any question you want.
