What happens when identity, politics and faith collide?

In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I interview Dr. Eric Wallace—co-founder of the Freedoms Journal Institute and author of The Heart of Apostasy—to unpack one of the most complex and sensitive conversations in today's culture…race.

From the role of identity in the church to the intersection of race, theology and public policy, this discussion challenges long-held assumptions and calls for a return to a Christ-centered worldview on race and racial relations.

💭 A different way to reflect this week:
• Is my primary identity rooted in Christ or something else?
