It was an absolute honor to sit down with New York Times bestselling author & public historian Dr. Jemar Tisby for an incredibly rich conversation about his brand new book,The Spirit of Justice. We discuss his own story of coming to faith and what led him to explore stories of Black Christians who tirelessly pursued healing, goodness, and justice against impossible odds.

Here’s what we cover:

1. The impact of culture on mental & emotional health

2. The double-edged sword of religion

3. The dissonance Jemar felt as a Black Christian in predominantly white settings

4. The lifelines who helped him shore up his faith

5. What is the spirit of justice?

6. Jemar’s thoughts on therapy

7. What stories of resistance teach us about following Jesus
