RePlacing Church 48: Lisa Sharon Harper on The Very Good Gospel (Part 2 of 2)


Lisa Sharon Harper is one of the nation’s most influential voices on faith-rooted advocacy. She serves as the chief church engagement officer at Sojourners, a non-profit organization committed to putting Christian faith into action in the pursuit of social justice, peace, and environmental stewardship.

  • The lynching of Mr. Anthony Crawford

  • Thin vs. Thick Gospel
  • Slavery, Revival, and the Abolitionist Movement
  • 3 ways to be a modern day abolitionist
