Episode 181 - Straight From The Heart About Racial Injustice, White Privilege and Why Black Lives Matter

Christine is so happy to welcome Sarah Lubach back on the podcast for this important conversation about race and the events of the past few weeks. We discuss what we're learning, how we're failing, who's inspiring us and steps we can take to support the Black Lives Matter movement. It's a frank discussion about our own shortcomings and a time of asking questions about white privilege, anti-racism, defunding the police and the next steps we can all be taking to support (and enact) real change in our world. We hope you'll listen and join in the conversation. (Plus, like always, What's Making Our Hearts Beat!)
