Summary

Sponsor(s): The Witness Conference

Episode Description: In this episode, Ekemini and Christina sit down at the table with Rev. Dr. Mika Edmondson, Rev. Watson Jones III, and Rev. Tyler Burns to discuss Black men, Christianity, and the church. Where are the Black men? What are the systemic barriers that keep Black men out of the church? Is there something about the way we do church that is unappealing to Black men? What hope can Black men find in Jesus? These brothas break it all the way down for us. You don’t want to miss this episode and make sure to share it with the brothas in your life, too! Pull up a chair and have a seat at the table with us.
