The Exchange: Responding to Resistance with Grace and Strategy

What happens when the resistance to racial justice and reconciliation comes from within your own church?

As we pursue the vision of Revelation 7:9, many are encountering unexpected pushback from their fellow Christians. Yet this tension is not new. In Luke 4, even Jesus faced resistance in His hometown after proclaiming good news to the poor and oppressed.

At this Exchange, we’ll explore how to remain a prophetic witness—responding to resistance with both grace and strategy. Together, we’ll consider how to lead courageously, stay anchored in love and truth, and navigate internal conflict without losing sight of God’s reconciling mission.

We’ll also hear from Dr. Eunice Hong and Dr. Harry Li, ministers serving in multi-ethnic churches, as they share wisdom from their own experiences leading through pushback.

If you’re feeling the weight of leading in this moment, you’re not alone. Come be encouraged and equipped for the road ahead.
