Have you ever wondered about the strength and resilience that emerge from a struggle? Join us as we invite Esau McCaulley, author of How Far to The Promised Land: One Black Family's Story of Hope and Survival in the American South, into our studio. Get ready for an honest conversation about the collective narrative of a people, the beauty in brokenness, and the power of hope.

In the first part of our discussion, Esau takes us on a journey through his life and the lives of his ancestors that have shaped his understanding of the world. From his hometown of Huntsville, Alabama, to his current role as Associate Professor of New Testament at Wheaton College, Esau shares the experiences that inspired him to write his book. As we delve into the experiences of his family, which are reflective of the broader African-American experience in the South, he encourages us to connect with our own relatives to gain a deeper understanding of our family's history.

Our guest invites us all to read his book for a deeper understanding of the resilience and hope that can emerge from struggle. This insightful narrative of one family's journey is not just about those who made it to the 'promised land', but also about those who continue to fight and strive for it. Tune in to be inspired by Esau's courage, resilience, and unshakeable faith.
