  • Ep 245: Helping Kids do the Important Work of Racial Reconciliation with Esau McCaulley
    Feb 6 2025
    Esau McCauley is a professor of New Testament and Public Theology at Wheaton College, as well as the bestselling author of seven books. In this week’s episode, we’re talking about his newest book, How Far to the Promised Land, in which he shares his own story of hope and his family’s legacy. We also dive into his two fantastic children’s books: Andy Johnson and the March for Justice and Josey Johnson’s Hair and the Holy Spirit. Through it all, he shares so much rich truth about what it looks like to advocate for justice and anti-racism as a family. This is a conversation that we believe will both enlighten and inspire you. It sure did both of us! You may also enjoy these episodes.
