Summary

Filmmaker Chad Jackson joins us today as we unpack his upcoming docuseries, "The MLK Project," which challenges the narrative that MLK was the unifying Christian hero we’ve been taught. From his ties to Marxist ideologies and rejection of core Christian doctrines to the manufactured moments that shaped the civil rights era, Chad reveals a side of MLK that will leave you questioning everything. We also explore how these ideologies continue to influence the church today, often to its peril. Share the Arrows 2025 is on October 11 in Dallas, Texas!

0:00.0	What if everything you think you know about the civil rights movement and MLK is a lie?
0:08.9	Today we've got Chad Jackson. He is a researcher and a filmmaker. He is creating a docu-series
0:15.2	about who MLK really was and how his ideology has captured the hearts in mind of many Christians to the
