This special episode of The Calling is brought to you by CT Creative Studio in partnership with The Witness’s Joy and Justice Conference, taking place October 4-5 in Chicago, IL. For more information, go to joyandjustice.com.
On a previous interview with The Calling, Jemar Tisby spoke of that moment he launched a Facebook group for the Reformed African America Network. That group has since experienced explosive growth, expanding into a publishing platform, a podcast network, and even a nation-wide tour.
They’ve been renamed The Witness: A Black Christian Collective, but they continue to focus on centering black voices and providing spaces for those who feel like outsiders in mainstream Christian spaces.
On this episode of The Calling, we discuss a number of ways The Witness team has sought to do that, including their upcoming conference. We also explore the challenges of creating a safe space that is also open to all.
