On this episode of Culture Matters, we sit down with Chad Lawson and Logan Helm from Citizens Church to discuss how things like anxiety, technology, fear and misconceptions of God shape our prayer practices. We hope to offer encouragement to view prayer as an ongoing, heartfelt conversation with God rather than a formal obligation, underscoring that even imperfect attempts at prayer are valuable in building a deeper relationship with Him.

Today is Juneteenth, a day where we celebrate the news of the Emancipation Proclamation finally reaching slaves on the Texas shores. We felt like now would be a good time to revisit the topic of racial division. What are the real steps to breaking the cycles of racial incidents, protests and backlash that we see so often in the United States? We are joined by George Yancey, a professor at Baylor University specializing in race relations, to explore this topic. Yancey shares his deep insights on the progress and pitfalls of race relations in America, highlighting significant milestones, while also addressing the pitfalls of extreme identity politics. Our conversation takes a thoughtful look at the cyclical nature of racial tensions and the need for intentional efforts, outside of moments of crisis, to achieve genuine advancement. We believe that, while not perfect, the Church has the best tools for addressing this issue.
