Multi-Ethnic Churches and a Theology That Heals  
Podcast: The Esau McCaulley Podcast
Published On: Thu Aug 06 2026
Description: Churches in America are becoming more racially diverse, but many pastors are talking less about racial reconciliation. Esau, Mike, and guest Ike Miller explore why getting different people into the same room is not the same as creating a community where everyone truly belongs. Then, Ike shares the central idea behind his new book, Theology That Heals: salvation is not merely a transaction that forgives our guilt, but a lifelong process of restoring us to God, to one another, and to ourselves. Also, can Ike survive Esau's version of the newlywed game?   0:00 - Theme Song   0:43 - How Well Does Ike Know His Wife?   6:33 - Are Megachurches More Diverse?   13:45 - Preaching That Ignores Racial Divide   24:45 - Sponsor - Brooklyn Bedding - For a quality mattress, go to https://www.brooklynbedding.com and use promo code ESAU to get 30% off site wide!   25:48 - Aware of Your Identity   35:20 - Jesus the Healer   49:33 - End Credits   Check out more from Ike Miller at: https://ikemiller.com/
