In this extended lecture from Jude 3 Project's Engaging African Spirituality course, Anglican priest Justice Okoronkwo breaks down the history, worldview, cosmology, misconceptions, and modern expressions of African traditional religion—and explains where it both overlaps with and clashes with the Christian faith.

This talk explores: • What African spirituality really is (beyond stereotypes) • How African spirituality has been commonly perceived (truth vs misconceptions) • The spiritual worldview that shapes African cosmology • How Christianity addresses the deepest questions African spirituality raises • The tension points between African spirituality & Christianity • How Christians can thoughtfully reach and engage those who practice African spiritual religions

If you’ve ever wrestled with questions of culture, tradition, faith, ancestors, or decolonization, this course will give you clarity, depth, and a biblical framework for understanding African spirituality through a truthful lens.

What does faith look like in an age of outrage, culture wars, and division? How do we pursue justice without losing our soul in the process?

In this timely conversation, Lisa Fields sits down with Justin Giboney — co-founder of the AND Campaign and author of "Don’t Let Nobody Turn You Around" — to unpack the lessons we must recover from the Civil Rights generation. From polarization and conflict entrepreneurs to local action, they discuss how Christians can confront injustice without losing compassion, think beyond party lines, and rebuild hope in a polarized moment.

They discuss:

• Why today’s outrage culture is discipling the church
• How the Civil Rights generation fought injustice without losing their soul
• The danger of online “conflict entrepreneurs” shaping our worldview
• Local action vs. national chaos
• Why strategy > social media performance
• How the church should respond to today’s political, economic & immigration crises

If you’re exhausted by the culture war — or searching for a faithful way forward — this conversation will challenge and refresh you.
