Today on the blog, things are a little different! I’m jumping into a new series that I’ve long wanted to write about, but instead of just writing it out in the safety of my thoughts, I felt God urging me to make this one a little more personal. So to do that, I recorded a video introducing this new blog series on racism. The video is below (or HERE if you don’t see it below), but I’ll include the transcript...
