The Sankofa Experience is an online community where Black Christians can gather to examine the things of our past and collectively discover what God may be calling us to in the future. The concept of Sankofa comes from a West African proverb that recognizes there are things in our past that were lost, left, or stolen that we as a people need to reclaim before we can move forward. It’s symbolically represented by a bird in flight looking back. In the bird’s mouth is an egg, which represents the desires and dreams of past generations still unfulfilled with the hope those dreams may hatch into greater realities in the future. We’d be honored if you join us as we remember tomorrow today.

Listen
The Sankofa Experience begins with a series of conversations shared through our Remembering Tomorrow podcast. These conversations revolve around four key areas: the Wisdom of history, the Calling of God, the Sacrifice of following Jesus, and the Jazz of living in rhythm with the Spirit — we call this The Sankofa Way.
