Racial justice is not a political issue, it’s a gospel issue. Despite the Bible’s clear call for racial unity, equality and justice, many white Christians don’t what the Bible says. In this episode, Patrick and Keith talk about the Bible’s teachings on racial justice in light of the tragic killing of George Floyd. At the end they focus on how their fellow white Christians should respond.

COVID-19 is the Marie Condo of BUSY schedules. It's wiped our activity schedules clean and given us time back for the small things that make life full. Time for hobbies, impromptu game nights, family, prayer, or reading. Kids can knock on a friends door and know they'll be home to play. COVID has given us space for all the small priorities a busy schedule crowds out.

"The way to life is death. The way to glory is service. Or, as he puts it in Luke 9.48, 'It is the one who is least among you who is greatest.' Jesus lived that statement out to the fullest." Do you ever wonder why Jesus had to die? It's a good question. It's one his disciples asked too. They didn't expect it to happen when he told them about it beforehand, and they didn't know how to react to it afterward.

"How would our lives change if we stopped putting our trust in wealth and possessions to keep us safe? I know my life would probably change tremendously." Does money make you anxious? Do you worry about financial security? Jesus understands what a pressing concern money is for people. That's why he addresses wealth repeatedly throughout his ministry and even performs miracles to teach his followers how to trust in him.

"A lot of us have been taught to think of a Christian as one who has prayed a prayer, confessed their sin, asked Jesus to be in their heart. That kind of thinking makes the rest of the Bible's teaching optional, as least as far as being a Christian is concerned." Is that how you were taught to be a Christian? It's not wrong, but it's not entirely right either. Jesus calls us to follow him.
