An Honest Conversation About Race

51m | Jul 19, 2026

The final message in For All People. Pastor Jason Mayfield deals plainly with race and the local church — no statistics, no politics — and lands on three commitments from Scripture: a commitment to listen, a commitment to cover, and a commitment to greater honor. It ends with a prayer most churches wouldn't dare pray: "Father, send us people that make us uncomfortable."
