Voices of Hope: Faith and Racism

In this episode of Voices of Hope, we begin with a roundtable discussion featuring members of New Hope and our Racial Justice Group, reflecting on how this series has challenged and stretched us.

Then, we sit down for a compelling interview with Rev. Dr. Carolyn Helsel, author of Anxious to Talk About It, the book guiding our discussions. Dr. Helsel offers wisdom on navigating the discomfort, fear, and resistance that often accompany conversations on race—and how we can lean into these moments with courage, grace, and a deeper trust in God’s transforming work. Join us as we continue the conversation beyond Sunday, engaging with the hard truths of racial injustice while holding onto the hope of the Gospel.
