A Conversation on Racial Unity with Pastor Jon C. Nelson

Through the power of the gospel, Jesus shows us the way toward true racial reconciliation and unity. Yet, it can be difficult to know what this looks like amid the complexities of our history, culture, and local contexts. 

In this video, Jon Nelson, former president of the Missouri Baptist Convention, sits down with Brent Leatherwood, ERLC president, to talk about his personal experiences in church and convention leadership and why he has hope for greater racial unity within the Southern Baptist Convention.
