”Black In White Church” is a podcast about exactly that: the black experience in white church. The hosts will walk us through topics, experiences, and relationships within the white church. Many of their conversations will center around R’s personal experiences of being a black pastor in a white church. The hope is to help our white churches understand the impact they have on black Christian members. From there, white churches can hopefully become spaces of welcome, belonging, and ultimately, family for black Christians.

On today's episode, Ryan and C.V. talk about ghetto neighborhoods and broken window policing. Why are some neighborhoods considered ghettos? Is there a racial component to impoverished neighborhoods? Is it okay as a Christian to want to live in a nicer, safer neighborhood? Do some of our police tactics help lift people out of poverty or keep them chained in it?
