“We are living in a deeply divisive time when our American democracy is in jeopardy. During this reality, Chuck Mingo and Troy Jackson have provided a path forward in Living Undivided. This book is an invitation to freedom rooted in love and justice. If you want to build a new future together with others in a world that desperately needs change, this book is for you! I highly recommend it!”

Dr. Brenda Salter McNeil, author of Becoming Brave and Roadmap to Reconciliation 2.0

“Amid the millions who marched for Black lives and those who pushed back with campaigns against critical race theory, Chuck Mingo and Troy Jackson have worked faithfully with thousands of real people who were willing to listen to one another, trusting the Spirit to make a way toward beloved community. Living Undivided is the fruit of that work, offered as a feast for all who hunger and thirst for justice.”

Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, author of Revolution of Values

“Justice is not peripheral but intrinsic to the gospel, and today it’s critical to its advance. Indeed, an increasingly diverse society no longer finds credible a message of God’s love for all people as proclaimed from segregated pulpits and pews that perpetuate racialized fatigue, harm, and trauma. In Living Undivided, Chuck and Troy do more than opine the ‘why we should’ of Christian unity. They share experientially forged, proven, and practical ‘what to do and how to do it’ insights that will equip and challenge you to walk, work, and worship God together as one with others, beyond the distinctions that otherwise divide this world. More than a good read, it’s a great game plan.”

“Chuck’s been not only a close friend but also a great teacher and influencer in all things race related. He doesn’t have an agenda other than seeing different people act as one. He adeptly sidesteps or disarms landmines that bog conversations down. Our country will benefit from as many people as possible reading this book.”

Brian Tome, founding and senior Pastor of Crossroads Church; author and host of The Aggressive Life podcast

“At this troubled moment in America comes this brilliant book to remind us that unconditional love has the power to heal and to bind us together across the divides of race and faith. Chuck and Troy have brought us to the altar of racial healing and baptized us in the waters of radical love—a love that conveys hard truths, asks and answers tough questions, and allows us to lament and learn to live together. Amen!”

Rev. Alvin Herring, executive director of Faith in Action

“This deeply moving and summoning book sees that our perspectives on the race crisis in our society are rooted in the stories we believe about ourselves and tell each other. The narrative quality of racism requires that we both tell our stories honestly and retell our lives in fresh, transformative narratives. Narrative specificity leads to neighborly practicality. The action called for is quite local and quite practical. This book is a fierce invitation to engagement that is smart, rooted, and courageous, moving toward a renewed restored society of justice.”

Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary

“Chuck Mingo and Troy Jackson bring prophetic insight, hard-earned experience, and a robust grasp of history to the increasingly fraught work of addressing society’s cultural divides. The educational curriculum, Living UNDIVIDED, and now this fantastic book, Living Undivided, will help churches and individual Christians take their pursuit of bridge building and racial justice to the next level.”
