Dr. John M. Perkins on Jesus Calling Podcast on June 16: Love over Hate

Dr. John M. Perkins, counselor to six presidents, community development leader, and civil rights legend recently joined The Jesus Calling Podcast to share how he grew up in Mississippi and was born during the height of Jim Crow and the Great Depression. The loss of his mother due to malnutrition and his brother, who was killed by police after his return from World War II, shaped Perkins’ life and ultimately inspired him to pursue civil rights issues, particularly around racial violence in the U.S. Today, at ninety-two years old, Dr. Perkins continues his work by shedding light on injustices and drawing Christians into the work of social justice and civil rights. Perkins’ book, “Count It All Joy,” is available from Moody Publishers.
