Jemar Tisby left it all on the floor in this Peace Talks interview. The list of topics covered is long and fascinating:
- The lack of attention to racial issues is spiritual malformation
- Post-2020, racial awareness is crucial but not enough
- Racial justice is a way of life, not a side dish
- Black History Month is a kind of cultural liturgy
- Justice takes sides
- Jemar's description of a Jesus addict
You don't want to miss any of it!

About the Center for Formation, Justice and Peace:
Justice and peace come from the inside out—from the overflow of a transformed heart. This belief led our founder, Bishop Todd Hunter, to start the Center for Formation, Justice and Peace in 2021. The Center brings together a diverse, interdenominational community of people who want to be formed in love to heal a broken world. Because “religion” is often part of the problem, we’ve created a brave, Jesus-centered space for dialogue, questioning, creating and exploration. PEACE TALKS introduces you to women and men who are working to undo oppression, leading to lives of deeper peace for all.
