But when brutality against Black lives demanded a moral reckoning, the same faith community they had passionately served betrayed them with silence, excuses, and complicity. What they had thought was the gospel revealed, was instead an idol, an insidious, unlivable theology that nearly destroyed their faith.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFaith Unleavened\u003c\/em\u003e confronts this crisis head-on. Through unforgettable storytelling, Spencer-Helms uncovers how the idol of whiteness seeps into churches, distorts scripture, and shackles the power of truth-telling. Tamice recalls the gut-punch of watching murders from Trayvon Martin to George Floyd, the numbing repetition of \"thoughts and prayers,\" the gaslighting when justice was demanded, and the silences that spoke louder than sermons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut this book is more than a critique; it is a pathway toward freedom. By \"extracting the leaven\" of white supremacy that animates American Christianity, Spencer-Helms names the spiritual harm done when churches excuse injustice and when colonized faith tells believers to shrink themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaders will leave both unsettled and renewed; confronted by hard truths, yet emboldened to claim a deeper, truer freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 188\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.43 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 29, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47651205218525,"sku":"9781957687797","price":29.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/JA00SyCEwR9781957687797.webp?v=1773886716","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/faith-unleavened-the-wilderness-between-trayvon-martin-george-floyd-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
