Is the Church Failing the Oppressed? | Courageous Conversations Pop Up Dallas

At this special Courageous Conversations Pop Up at the E.K. Bailey Preaching Conference, Dr. Frederick Haynes III, Dr. Danielle Brown, Dr. Tyshawn Gardner, Dr. Nicole Massie Martin, and Dr. E. Dewey Smith Jr. come together to deeply reflect on liberation from the ancient scriptures to now. From systemic & economic oppression to unexpected modern day "Pharaohs" to the co-opting of faith for political gain—this dynamic discussion doesn't hold back.

They explore topics like:
• Who are today's "Pharaohs"?
• Has the Church become complicit in oppression?
• What does prophetic preaching look like in today’s world?
• How do we preach liberation without becoming gatekeepers of privilege?
• How can the Black Church avoid becoming Pharaoh itself?
• What role does lament, love, and prophetic witness play in collective healing and how do we make room for them in real, tangible ways?

This isn’t just a panel—it’s a necessary reckoning. Tune in for a conversation that’s honest, raw, and deeply relevant to the fight for justice, equity, and faithful witness in our times.
