Message - Love Your Brother: Confessions of a middle-age white guy from a middle-American culture

Tim takes a self-reflective look at his own culture and worldview to have a greater understanding and awareness of the discrimination, fear and anger that is sweeping across our nation in 2020.

The three primary questions Tim explores are: Do men, not of color, see and understand the injustices in our communities toward minorities? Is there a role we may have in taking actions towards bringing fairness and justice to our communities? What does it mean to love our brother?

Through a foundation of hope and encouragement in God's Word exploring these three questions, Tim challenges us through challenging himself by loving his brother, regardless of his skin color, language or tribe. To listen, care for, and empathize with him at a deeper level. Second, to acknowledge there is real discrimination and fear within communities of color that he may not fully understand, and to speak up or act when the Lord prompts him to do so.
