He Was Shot at 16. Now He Leads The Potter's House. | Pastor Touré Roberts on Knowing
The Color Between The Lines with Esther Dillard
He was shot at 16 years old. The physical wound healed in months. The trauma rewired his thinking for decades. And right as his new book on divine certainty releases his wife suffers a serious accident he never saw coming.
That is where this conversation begins.
In this episode of The Color Between the Lines, I sit down with Pastor Tour Roberts co-senior pastor of The Potter's House in Dallas and founder of ONE to talk about his new book Knowing. In a season where the ground keeps shifting under our feet, Pastor Tour says the answer isn't more information. It's something older. Something every person was born with. Something most of us have forgotten how to read.
We cover:
What Knowing actually is and why it's the first sense, not the sixth
What anchored him when Sarah Jakes Roberts was seriously injured
How trauma rewires your inner knower and what misknowing actually feels like
The Gregg Braden DNA discovery and how it connects to divine programming
How his parents' work in the Black Panther Party shaped his mission today
Why his 9-year-old daughter wrote the foreword and why his publisher pushed back
What he wishes he had known 20 years ago
