Why Identity in Christ Changes How We See Race

Let me know what you think of this episode? (https://www.buzzsprout.com/1754677/fan_mail/new)

Racial division, church conflict, and cultural burnout do not have to define your faith. Rev. Dr. B. Keith Haney shares the biblical habits, hard-earned leadership lessons, and grace-filled tools that help believers become true bridge builders in a fractured world.With more than 30 years in ministry, Haney draws from real congregational conflict, personal formation in Louisiana, and his work leading churches through change to show why identity, curiosity, and spiritual resilience matter more than ever. He explains how spiritual leaders can lower the temperature without watering down truth, why division is often deeper than politics, and what it takes to lead people through change without losing them along the way.You'll discover:

 

• Why leading with Christian identity changes the way you handle race, politics, and disagreement

 

• How burnout is often a spiritual problem, and the habits that replenish your faith

 

• The Milwaukee church conflict that taught Haney how to address racism as a heart issue, not a power issue

 

• Why change feels like grief, and how great leaders reduce resistance by including people in the process

 

• The difference between truth and grace when talking about painful topics

 

Haney also unpacks his books, including One Nation Under God, Healing Racial Divides and Guided by Grace, where storytelling becomes a powerful way to navigate organizational change. He reveals why Jesus' example as a master storyteller still shapes the way leaders can communicate difficult truths with clarity and compassion.This episode is essential listening if you care about healthy churches, constructive conversations, and becoming the kind of Christian who brings hope into tense rooms. If you are a pastor, ministry leader, or believer trying to stay faithful in an angry age, this conversation will challenge you, steady you, and send you back out with a clearer sense of calling.Rev. Dr. B. Keith Haney is a pastor, author, and advocate for unity and transformation in the church. He serves as Assistant to the President for Missions, Human Care, and Stewardship in the Iowa District West of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod, hosts Becoming Bridge Builders, and wrote Guided by Grace: A Narrative to Lead Organizational Change.
