Description

Jim Davis and Mike Aitcheson continue a conversation with Jon Aragón and Ameen Hudson, picking up with power dynamics in culture and society and the concept of transitional justice as a means to bridging the gaps in America's traumatic racial history. Aragón and Hudson share the things they would wish the church would embrace in this cultural moment. The group addresses:Power differentials in scripture (:34)How Jesus addressed power differentials (8:42)Understanding transitional justice (16:29)Taking justice seriously (25:28)Promoting greater human flourishing for minorities (31:13)Explore more from TGC on the topic of race.DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:1. Why is it powerful for the church to own wrongs of the past even if the church today did not participate in them? Where might the Bible point to the need to do this? How could this shape the church for the future?2. What would it look like for the church to embrace a more robust view of justice that applies the whole testimony of scripture to this world? What will it cost the church?

As In Heaven, hosted by Jim Davis and Michael Aitcheson, is a new podcast in The Gospel Coalition podcast network. Each episode seeks to glean insights from a wide variety of people doing strategic work in their cities and communities. Jesus taught us to pray “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” Our prayer is that our spheres of influence would be places that look more like God’s kingdom—where love reigns, humanity flourishes, and Christ is glorified.
