“If it were not for the black church, there would be no church in America.” – Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1931)
In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Walter Strickland II — professor, author, and teaching pastor—reveals why Dietrich Bonhoeffer said there would be no church in America without the African-American church, and what that means for leaders today.
Dr. Walter Strickland II unpacks the biblical foundation for kingdom diversity, explains why lament is the missing spiritual muscle in American Christianity, and shares forgotten stories of African-American church leaders.
Discover how bearing each other’s burdens and learning from the past can transform your church into the multicultural witness God intended.
