The Life and Ministry of Frederick Douglass with Kristofer
In today’s video, Kristofer reflects on the life and ministry of Frederick Douglass: an American abolitionist, women’s suffragist, editor, orator, author, statesmen, reformer, and minister. As Kristofer shares key elements of Douglass’ powerful story, he invites us to consider the profound connections with our own lives and ministries now almost 130 years after his death. Because Douglass was such a prolific writer, there are so many sources from which to draw from the deep waters of his truth telling.
