Racism and the Gospel

Telling My Story on The Will Spencer Podcast

I recently had the pleasure of joining my friend Will Spencer on his podcast, where I shared my story of growing up between cultures and how that experience has shaped my perspective today.

Here are a few key takeaways from my conversation:

1. I shared my experience growing up in Africa as a ‘Black’ Christian in both white and non-Christian environments and how that shaped my understanding of culture and identity.

1. I highlighted the stark contrast between regions with a strong Christian heritage and those still developing one, emphasizing the profound impact of the gospel on culture.

2. I stressed the importance of discipleship beyond evangelism, recognizing that shaping society with Christian values requires more than just conversion.

3. I noted how deeply Christianity has influenced the West—often taken for granted—compared to African regions still undergoing transformation.

4. I reflected on my arrival in the U.S. during significant political and cultural shifts, drawing parallels with Africa’s spiritual dynamics.

5. I discussed my podcast, Of Flames and Crowns, which is dedicated to building Christian culture and engaging society through a biblical worldview.

6. I warned against the dangers of ethnic supremacy ideologies in the church, urging believers to uphold biblical truth over divisive mindsets.
