Bridging the Divide: A Conversation on Gracism and the Church w/ guest Dr. David Anderson

What does it mean to be a Gracist — and why is racial unity essential to the mission of the Church?

In this powerful episode of the Church Law Podcast, The Church Attorney® is joined by Dr. David Anderson, one of the world’s leading voices on racial reconciliation, faith, and bridge-building. As the founder of Gracism Global and senior pastor of one of America's most multicultural churches, Dr. Anderson unpacks the theological, legal, and practical implications of racial unity in today’s divided world.

We explore how churches can move beyond performative allyship, create legally sound diversity policies, and cultivate authentic multicultural communities rooted in grace, not guilt. Dr. Anderson also shares how his concept of Gracism offers a redemptive framework for churches to confront racism while reflecting the true heart of God.

Whether you're a pastor, ministry leader, church lawyer, or believer seeking unity, this episode will inspire you to bridge the divide — with wisdom, integrity, and grace.
