Hi, and welcome to Jesus Over Everything, a short practical podcast that mixes encouragement,

the Bible, how-toes, and fantastic interviews for the listener on the go. I'm Lisa Whittle, and I welcome

you to the Joe interview show, which I trust and pray will be time well spent. This lady is a force

for the kingdom of God, women, and as we will talk about today on Joe, racial reconciliation in the body of

Christ. I have to tell you that I met Latasha Morrison back in February, and everything about

this woman is bright, strong, and magnetic. I just wanted to hang around her and get her to talk

to me, to be honest with you. So when I got the chance to talk not only to her, but about her new

book, Be the Bridge,

I was more than excited.

Latasha knows how to lead out in important conversations, and what matters to me most

of all is she knows how to bring folks together in the body of Christ.

So important.

Her nonprofit organization, Be the Bridge, equips more than a thousand subgroups

across five countries to serve as ambassadors

of racial reconciliation. I ask her all about that. And for right reason, she's been recognized by

Forbes and Ebony and Facebook's leadership program as a leading social justice advocate. Get

ready to learn from my new powerful friend, Latasha Morrison.

Thank you. ready to learn from my new powerful friend, Latasha Morrison.

Latasha, I'm so excited about having you on. You probably don't remember this, but we met backstage this year at If, and here was kind of our interaction. I think you petted my jacket and you said something like,

don't mind me, I'm just going to pet your jacket, carry on or something like that.

And I'm like, I have got to know this woman. That was literally our interaction.

Really? Yeah. I did meet you face to face, but then at one moment you petted the back of my jacket.. So I'm like, I gotta know her. Yeah. That was it. I wonder, wasn't, that is so funny. First of all, it sounds like something I would do. Especially if it was a jacket that I liked. Yeah, right. Well, that's how I took it. I like she likes my jacket it probably was I don't even
