The Justice Briefing is your weekly guide to understanding current events through a historically grounded, theologically rooted, justice-centered lens. Instead of framing the world through fear or culture-war panic, we draw from the spirit of justice—from the biblical prophets to the Civil Rights Movement. This isn't just commentary; it’s discipleship for truth and justice.

Right now the Christian film industry is dominated by what I’ve called “Devotional” films.
These films are often produced by people promoting a conservative—even fundamentalist—and heavily right-leaning version of Christianity.

The scariest thing about the movies Get Out and Sinners isn’t the body-snatching or the blood-sucking. It’s how accurately they show us what whiteness does.

Suddenly commentators act like they’ve discovered a brand-new species: the Christian who actually sounds like Jesus.

Dr Jemar Tisby’s insight as a historian focused on justice work is essential in this current moment. He brings new life to the stories of the civil rights era and how they are directly relevant today. Plus he unpacks how Christian Nationalism has impacted justice issues through history to the present moment. I started my justice journey with his book/video series “The Color of Compromise” and it broke open my comfortable bubble and set me on a path to ask challenging questions of the status quo... more
I have been privileged to see Dr Tisby speak as a guest at a local church and PBS television program in Nashville. I read his book Color of Compromise. Jemar Tisby is a thoughtful writer and teacher. His knowledge of history, the Bible and current events and his gift to bring all these together in his podcast and present it clearly is inspiring. We need this work to get us through these hard times. Highly recommended!
I’ve learned so much from Dr. Jemar Tisby. He is thoughtful, deeply informed, and brings together history, theology, and faith in a way that is clear and compelling. His work is well-researched and grounded in a Christian perspective, helping readers and listeners better understand the historical and theological context behind many of today’s important conversations.

Dr. Tisby has a great way of explaining history in ways that make you feel like you’ve been along for the whole journey. He doesn’t shy away from challenging topics and helps shine a light on our Hope when despair seems imminent.🌟
I will listen to Dr. Tisby whenever he speaks!!! Found him on Pass the Mic and I also listen to the convocation. He speaks so clearly and I like how he speaks logically. I love when he gets a bit worked up too.
