Lisa Fields sits down with Dr. Jemar Tisby — historian, New York Times bestselling author, and public theologian — to discuss his latest book, The Spirit of Justice: True Stories of Faith, Race, and Resistance.

Together, they dive into the legacy of Black Christian activism, intergenerational wisdom, the importance of courage and hope in today’s justice movements, and how the stories of the past can fuel our resistance today. From reflections on Sister Thea Bowman and Fannie Lou Hamer to the crisis of hopelessness facing today’s students, this episode is packed with wisdom, encouragement, and real talk on faith, race, and perseverance.
