A Conversation with Rodney McAuley

This Sunday we conclude our four week series where we welcome key leaders in our city for a conversation on Jesus, Racism, and the Church. This week Mark speaks with Rodney McAuley, who has been a pastor and mentor in Spokane for many years, and is a respected voice in our city for racial reconciliation.

Near the end of the conversation we had two questions from participants in the Zoom call, which were taken out for privacy (it should be obvious where they were asked based on the preceding comments by Mark and the pause and response by Rodney). The questions are summarized as follows:

  1. As we come up into this election and partisan divisiveness that is dominating our country, how do we stay holy in this time of unholiness?

  2. In the section from the Bible that [Rodney] opened up the conversation with (2 Cor. 5:14-6:2), what are your thoughts on verse 16, which says, “Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer.”
