The relationships between race, ethnicity, culture, and church doctrine have been hot topics since the very beginning. And the conversations get even more complicated when misconceptions about how the faith and story of the Bible have been passed down—and its intended audience—get in the way. But here’s the real truth: God wants a relationship with everyone, and the good news of Jesus is for anyone. Join our conversation with Dr. Eric Mason as we address past and present misconceptions and discover what it means to reclaim our dignity, identity, and significance as image bearers of God. Verses Mentioned:  Titus 3 Ephesians 3:2-5 Acts 17:26-27 Ephesians 2:14-15 Genesis 11:1-9 Acts 2:1-12 Acts 6:1-7 Galatians 5:1-12  Featured Links:  Keep the conversation going with the Discussion Guide from this episode! Dr. Eric Mason’s Website: https://www.pastoremase.com/ Dr. Eric Mason’s Instagram:...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/p2oXlB7b7F49WVs4kl-0zHT8mYnmb_mmTHOn6Q--mY4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iNDE1/YjYzNTU1YjlkOTAw/N2RkMWNjMTJjNjk4/OTk2MS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
