Dan Pitts, owner of True Artist Management, and Paige Pitts, founder of New Hope Academy, will be with us this Thursday.
 
Dan was a typical white kid who, Wes says, “knew next to nothing about racial injustice until he started working with Toby Mac and DC Talk and learned about the challenges that come with racial prejudice.” At the same time, Paige became deeply convinced that God calls His people to care about justice and righteousness. And since access to educational opportunities is a key indicator of racial inequality, she founded New Hope Academy 28 years ago in Franklin as a school of excellence that is both ethnically and socioeconomically diverse.
 
Williamson County is the 22nd richest county out of the 3,144 counties in America. It’s easy for us to ignore the fact that some of us live in house trailers; a few still have outhouses; there is homelessness in our county. It’s easy for us to ignore that God calls His people to care about justice and righteousness.
