Episode 331 | Christian First, Black Third

In this episode of The Way We See It, Pastor Alex Bryant responds to a question raised by Stephen A. Smith: “What’s wrong with identifying as Black first?” Alex explains why he chooses to identify as a Christian first, a family man second, and Black third. It is not because he is ashamed of being Black. Quite the opposite. He is grateful for the way God made him. But when people think of him, he wants them to see Christ before anything else. Pastor Alex explores how identity shapes our perspective, our priorities, and our purpose. He challenges listeners to consider whether their primary identity comes from politics, race, nationality, career, or something greater. This is a thoughtful conversation about faith, identity, and what it means to put first things first.
