It’s been a minute, but we are glad to be back in action! This week’s episode talks about what implicit biases are and *some* of the ways it shows up in our church and in our families. In this episode, we ask:

1. What are implicit biases?
2. Have you been able to speak up against injustice?
3. What are the implicit biases that you still carry?
4. What’s the difference between anti-racist and non-racist?
5. How can we heal the racial divide?
   1. Pray!
   2. Ask questions when you don’t understand. Instead of being defensive, ask ourselves “Why?” And “Where is this coming from?”
   3. Educate each other, inform others when something is racist out of love and understanding.
   4. Fasting and praying for an end to racial injustice
