Processing Racial Tension: 5-Minutes
168 Church is a new church start in greater Chicagoland. We are launching a mini-series in 2023 that aims to process racial tension in America. In February, we will release one, short, audio recording on: Feb. 1, Feb. 6, Feb. 13, Feb. 20, Feb. 27. If you have 5 minutes this week, we encourage you to give it a listen. We believe you will leave stimulated and encouraged.

In our first episode, we compare what it means to pursue a positive peace which is the presence of justice vs. preferring a negative peace which is the absence of justice (MLK).
