So, Jamear, okay, you brought up this really interesting point. We've been talking about the statement of social justice in the gospel. We've been talking about a number of different things as far as our perceptions of it and you know I really want to get into some some theology because I think it's important to know for people to know where we stand

theologically, but also, you know, where we stand, you know, in terms of statements like this, in terms of interactions

with people. And I think it may be helpful for people to understand like where

how we come up with responding to things right how we come up with

interacting with people that we may disagree with this is a particular interaction that we're having right now, but we've had

other interactions in the past with people privately you and I have that have been really productive.

And so those aren't really on public notice.

Like those aren't really something that happens on the social media.

Those aren't really something that happens where people are like,

oh, these people have this this talk or we put up an

Instagram or an insta story and we say look at this we had this talk with so-and-so and

it was productive and it was good. But man I think it's really important for people to

think through the usage of their time.

And how do they use time in a way that is both productive and redeeming for the effort that they're going for.

And so the big question is, man, how do we decide?

How do we decide what's necessary for us to respond to?

Can you speak a little bit to that?

We don't respond to everything. Let's just put that out there, right?

Because, as you mentioned in part one, Tyler, what we're attempting to do is address the core concerns of black people,

black Christians.

And so not everything that is on our radar is on other people's radar and we don't want to primarily be a ministry of responding.

But beyond that, it's like real dialogue doesn't always take place in public and so I choose not to respond
