An Open Letter to My Christian Friends RE: Racial Injustice in the US
I’m encouraged by the support and solidarity I have witnessed from my Christian friends. Thank you for your expressions of heartbreak. But don’t stop there.

When it comes to talks about racial discrimination, mercy and grace are needed on all sides. But the most effective change happens face-to-face.
Our only chance at dismantling racial injustice is being more curious about its origins than we are worried about our comfort.
We are a Chinese American family witnessing a 150% spike in anti-Asian violence. As a father to three kids under the age of 9, the hardest question I’ve had to answer recently is, “Daddy, are we safe?”
God has one big, beautiful, diverse family—by design and for His glory. And as Christians, we share a common identity.
So what does the Bible say about racism? A lot (from Genesis all the way to Revelation). The question is, will we listen?
Ahmaud Arbery’s death isn’t just about politics. It’s a chance to teach our kids to think and act with Christian minds in areas we’d rather avoid.
“I think the bottom line is that God just doesn’t like women,” my friend shared her frustration. But is that the truth about us?
One woman says her upbringing was based in fear and shame because of the concept of sin. God was a megaphone in my head: “You’re bad, you’re bad!”
When a man lives up to his role, life-giving things start to happen.
