Ep 2080: From Ignorance to Awareness: A Path to Unity

The iWork4Him Podcast welcomes Pam Lilly, previous sheWorks4Him Podcast guest and author of The First, The Only, The Few: Why Unity in Christ is Not Always Black and White, to discuss faith, race, and overall, unity. Pam graciously shares her experience as an African American woman in many white spaces, like how her first day of kindergarten coincided with the first day of desegregation in her hometown, shaping her experiences as “the first” or “the only” in many parts of her life. 

Jim opens up the discussion admitting how he and many others have been unaware of the experiences of other races and cultures. Pam explains how faith helped her navigate these challenges and why unity in Christ is essential. She urges listeners to step outside their comfort zones, build real relationships, and embrace conversations about race without fear. She ties this to John 17, where Jesus calls for unity so “the world will know” He was sent by God – this unity is part of the Great Commission, making Him known! 

This episode is a must-listen for those seeking to move from ignorance to awareness and be part of a church that reflects the diversity of God’s kingdom. Be curious and get to know ALL of God’s beautiful works of creation – not just the ones that look and think like you.
