Showing results for "John Perkins" in Social Sciences

Pastor John P. Perkins (Jackson, MS) and Pastor Matthew J. Watts (Charleston, WV) discuss pressing issues facing America’s Black communities and society in general. As preachers who are also pastors, Perkins and Watts recognize their responsibility for the flock, the community, the neighborhood, and society. We’re gonna laugh, we’re gonna have fun, but for the most part, we’re going to engage a thought process that shows how the Kingdom of God is not just something of antiquity but has practical relevance today.

This audiobook is an exploration of that question.
