What does it look like to pursue racial justice with faithfulness in the everyday? Dr. Karen Johnson, historian and author of Ordinary Heroes of Racial Justice, joins me to explore the power of story, the complexity of history, and the lives of Christians—both well-known and unsung—who fought against racism in America.
We discuss:
-
How her upbringing and academic journey led her to study race, faith, and the civil rights movement
-
Why history is “true stories” and how to read it with discernment
-
The transformative role of diverse church communities
-
Ordinary people whose quiet faithfulness changed the world
Whether you’re a history lover, a church leader, or simply someone who wants to understand the past to shape a better future, this conversation offers wisdom, hope, and practical insight.
