Ep 93 | Biblical Suffering

Amid protests over George Floyd's death and police brutality, we turn to Scripture, statistics, and solutions. Do statistics provide evidence for systemic racism? Are the Democrats in the cities filled with minorities really helping, and what is their relationship with public unions? Do you have white privilege, and how should Christians handle that conversation? Allie tackles all the questions in this jam-packed, can't-miss episode of Relatable.
