Our recent developments in satellite imagery have expanded our ability to observe and track the movement of stars, galaxies, gas giants, novas, and planets. It’s captivating to see these tools at work and inspiring to the vast nature of our universe. It’s also daunting. What does it mean to be this small part of something bigger?

Let us worship the One who places the treasures in our clay jars.

The Anti Racist Film Club podcast is a monthly conversation about films which highlight stories of Black people, Indigenous People or People of Color (BIPOC) in order to grow together in our intercultural competency, awareness of systemic racism, and our role as people of faith in the work of anti racism.

You can host your own Anti-Racist Film Club Discussion with these discussion questions for all the movies we've screened so far!
