Imagine what the church would look like if we pursued a call to multi-ethnic ministry. Harvey's church, Hope City Covenant Church in Central KY is trying to fill that very purpose. We are so excited to hear what God is doing in the community and how we can try to overcome some of the hurdles to that mission. We also mix in some clips from various speakers from a worship service and panel for black Christian students at EKU. Overall it's a very important message and an awesome episode!
