Summary

Keith sits down with Sean Boone, a church planter in one of the most racially divided cities in America: Ferguson, Missouri. He and Keith get into what it means to be a multiethnic church and how his church's goal isn't simply integration; it's a lifestyle of assimilation. Boone tells us his incredible story: his life before following Christ, how his mother going to prison affected him, his life in the drug and gang culture, and his eventual "come to Jesus" moment. Hear him share his perspective on building a multiethnic church in a predominantly white denomination and learn how you can help this life-changing cause. Your support makes TMBT possible.

0:00.0	Hey you might know that Patrick and I have another podcast we lead it's called
0:04.0	truth over tribe and on truth over tribe we talk about politics and culture from a
0:08.6	Christian perspective now we don't ever share truth over tribe
0:12.0	episodes here on 10 minute Bible talks,
0:14.6	but we thought that 10 minute Bible talk listeners would really enjoy this one particular episode.
0:20.4	So here it goes. Michael Brown was killed by Officer Darren Wilson in August of 2014 in Ferguson, Missouri.
0:37.0	That event set off protests that eventually turned violent and helped start a national conversation about police violence.
0:43.6	So perhaps Ferguson is the last place you'd expect white and black Christians to
0:48.1	worship in the same church. But God specializes in doing the unexpected.
0:54.0	Sean Boone is a church planner who started a multi-ethnic church
0:58.0	right in the middle of one of America's most racially divided cities.
1:02.0	You've probably never heard of Boone and by the way that's
1:05.4	what everybody calls him but even though you haven't heard of him I think you're
1:09.1	going to be moved by his story in our conversation we get into how his mom going to prison affected him, why he left drugs and hustling to follow Jesus, how you define a multi-ethnic church, and why it's harder to pastor a multi-ethnic church.
1:23.0	Now, the name of this church is Woke Bridge,
1:26.0	and I told Boone that's about the worst name you could choose
1:30.0	from the perspective a large part of our population.
1:33.0	I mean the word woke has become so incredibly toxic.
1:37.0	So the conversation gets pretty spicy as Boone shares what woke means in his community and why it's hard for African Americans to
1:45.2	get excited about evangelicals. So make sure you stick around into the end to hear us
1:50.2	discuss it. Boon, welcome to Truth Over Tribe.
