Conversations on Race and Unity | Make it Personal | August 27, 2020

This video was recorded on August 4th and thus does not specifically address the more recent injustices toward the Black community in our country. However, this conversation is relevant to these current events and we invite you to lean in and listen deeply to these perspectives. Lead Pastor John Parker is joined by Kyle Steele, David Outing, and Michelle Hamilton who help make the discussion around racial injustice personal. This week's guest speakers contribute personal accounts of their own experiences as well as share from the perspective of their communities to help shed light on a topic some may feel distanced from. More than just spawning data and facts, racial injustice reaches into the personal lives of some in our community more than others. We hope you'll join us as we listen and learn more about the deep and personal impacts racial injustice has and how some of those affected move through a world that may be different than your own. Conversations on Race and Unity Hosted by John Parker is a six-week event from Summit Church. As we seek to live as citizens of God's kingdom, it’s important we learn and understand perspectives from many walks of life, cultures, and circumstances.
