Lecrae has been one of the most popular Christian Hip Hop artists for more than a decade, but the last few years have been full of trials and struggles for him. He wrote on Instagram: “I have found myself in immense pain over the last couple months from the affects of the pandemic to the perpetuation of injustice and racism in America.” “Deep End” is his confession, prayer, and response to his struggles. Our Prayer Pastor has also been struggling over the last few months, too. Read What Our Pastor Learned About Racism While Reading James

Pastor Brandon Washington pastors the Embassy Church in Denver, CO. He sat down with our own Pastor Chad to help us better understand the ways personal and systemic racism still affect the daily lives of our brothers and sisters. We asked him what his experience has been as a large, Black, man in the U.S. and he had some shocking stories. But he is not angry. He believes the Gospel and the Bible have a lot to teach us about how to deal with racism in our country and in our hearts. You can follow Pastor Brandon on Twitter or learn more about his church.

As we all continue to dismantle systemic racism in our country and prejudice in our own lives, let us not forget this monumental moment when the Church stood up and said “enough is enough.” Praying this recap encourages you today and in the days ahead. Many things are impossible. But nothing is impossible with God and for Him. #Amen
