I get it. You *might* be afraid if you speak out a segment of your church or donor base will label you a SJW, woke, or a liberal. The deeper question is what will be the focus of your ministry: the disinherited who need support or the fear of a label?

Much of their power is rooted in causing a fear that is not real. You know what you believe. Once you realize that you can be free, even if cost you something. Ask believers of color, we have been called much worse.

Read the Scriptures, pray, and look around you. Are we witnessing a series of unrelated events or are the concerns of your brothers and sisters have been raising for decades well founded? If they are, what do we as Christians owe to one another?

If the 97% of us who agree that systemic racism still plagues are wrong, is the actual Christian response mockery and slander? I know that I shouldn& #39;t hope for more, but I do.
