Revelation 7:9 Conversations Sun, 22 Mar 2026 00:10:48 -0400 https://www.buzzsprout.com/2535770 en-us © 2026 Revelation 7:9 Conversations yes 1d2633c6-08fa-5df8-b1cc-8b56e5a16aca Jin H. Cho, Jacilyn Goodwin, Amanda Holm Rosengren, Vania Gomez episodic false We are a new podcast talking about race and justice and the church! It is for all who share our passion--what we call a Revelation 7:9 vision--based on that beautiful vision at the end of history of all nations, ethnicities, and languages worshipping before the Lamb of God. These are conversations with thinkers, authors, teachers, and leaders in the church, to hear a different story of what God is doing in our world. 

     Let’s face it, these are hard times, when people are taught to shout down different stories, rather than to listen generously. But when we do, I think you will find through these stories the beauty of God breaking through that we all need.

A lot, actually, because God meets us in the concreteness of a person whose meaning is fully formed in a particular time and culture. 

Dr. Janette Ok is a professor of New Testament at Fuller Seminary, a preacher, and the co-author of New Testament in Color (IVP). Vania Gomez and Jin Cho have an encouraging and important conversation with Janette, on having early gender and cultural role models; how owning our own authentic ethnic/cultural  identities is a gift to the church; and how justice at a defining characteristic of God is a divine imperative for God's people.
