Chris Burton, Director of the Leadership Institute at Union Presbyterian Seminary in Richmond, Virginia, operator of an antiracism consulting firm (Di Baddest Consulting), and co-host of the podcast CrossStreets, begins his sermon from James 3:1-12 with memories of summer, and a conversation with a friend from elementary school days who was wounded by the words of a teacher. Ouch. Words can hurt, can’t they? They can kill. The author of James understands this, and as someone who has done some teaching himself, so does Chris Burton. Push the play button.
