Description

This year's Essence Festival of Culture sparked heated debate over representation, cultural ownership, and diaspora unity. Some attendees felt the event shifted away from its Black American roots, while others embraced its broader Pan-African focus. In this episode, we examine the controversy through the lens of Scripture—asking how the gospel speaks to questions of identity, culture, and unity. From Ephesians 2 to Revelation 7.
