He’s Black. She’s white. He has his past. She has hers. Then they get married.
Guys, we have our REAL LIFE FRIENDS in the house, and they are here to show us a microcosm of the critical bridging of divides that must happen in our world.
How do they bridge barriers in their marriage? What can we learn from them about bridging racial divides today? Chaplain of the Kent County jail, Jason Botbyl, and his wife, Julie, are here to help us out.
Highlights:
“I think to live life fully, especially in Christ, there needs to be this vibrant, diverse atmosphere, which I think people are really wanting right now.”-Jason Botbyl
“I know that I’m going to see someone that is made in the Image of God and I know that they need Jesus—that’s a fact. And so, let’s go see what Jesus has for the both of us today.” -Jason Botbyl
“The power of the gospel is just so redemptive—redeeming, buying back what was lost, what was broken.” -Julie Botbyl
“I just picture the cross. There’s this barrier, but I picture the cross in front of the barrier.”-Julie Botbyl
