Lisa Fields is the founder of The Jude 3 Project - an organisation helping the Christian community know what they believe and why they believe it with a strong emphasis in equipping those of African descent in the United States and abroad.

Lisa founded the organisation after encountering significant intellectual challenges to her own faith. Belle and Justin find out what answers she discovered, the unique challenges that people of colour face when it comes to Christian faith, and how we can re-enchant the voice of black Christians in the world of theology and apologetics.
