Summary

In today’s episode, Seth sits down with pastor, author, and culture warrior Virgil Walker to ask the question: What happened to the black American church? From the infiltration of Black Liberation Theology to the rise of tribal identity politics in the pulpit, the war on black America began where it mattered most—its spiritual foundation. Together, Seth and Virgil unpack how celebrated voices like Lecrae, Jackie Hill Perry, and Benjamin Watson have echoed narratives of perpetual victimhood instead of victory in Christ. Why is the church, once a symbol of resilience and truth, now preaching grievance and guilt? This is one of the most honest and unflinching conversations we’ve ever had on race, theology, and truth.
