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.

  • A trusted voice

    As I have listened to this podcast and begun to read his books, Dr. Tisby has become a trusted voice for me as I learn how to be an anti-racist.
