Let's talk about White Fragility, How to Be an Anti-Racist, The Color of Compromise, and Be The Bridge. Dr. Shenvi and Dr. Sawyer's article: https://shenviapologetics.com/do-whites-need-corporate-repentance-for-historical-sins/

Guest: Keri Smith, Co-Host "Unsafe Space" podcast Keri will share her 20-year journey as a "social justice warrior" and how she came out of it and to faith in Christ.

It has become very popular in recent years, particularly among Christians. It is seen as a useful tool for spiritual growth. Jay Medenwaldt is a doctoral student (PhD - Social Psychology) who has been researching the question: Is the Enneagram a valid personality test? He shares his research with us.

Does the story of Zacchaeus offer a biblical case for reparations? Does it address the problem of what to do with unjustly acquired wealth by 250 years of slavery, 90 years of Jim Crow, and 35 years of racist housing policies? Let's talk about it.

Socialism is making a comeback in America. Poll after poll shows that young Americans have a positive image of socialism. In fact, more than half say they would rather live in a socialist country than in a capitalist one. Did Jesus call on earthly governments to redistribute wealth? Was imposing a welfare state part of His vision for loving our neighbor? Author and economist, Lawrence Reed will share insights from his book, Was Jesus a Socialist, with us.

We are going to take a look at the history of eugenics (aka "scientific racism"). It was a major scientific movement in the early 20th century that most people don't know about.

There are a lot of prominent evangelical leaders saying that racism is a "gospel issue." But I've also seen things like the coronavirus called a "gospel issue." So, let's go back to basics. What IS the Gospel? Then we can begin to evaluate the question, Is racism a "gospel issue"?

Did you know that there were female apostles? And deacons? And why have priests historically been only men? Join us for an informative conversation exploring the role of women in the early church with Orthodox theologian and New Testament scholar, Dr. Jeannie Constantinou.

The news narrative right now can feel toxic. Let's talk about interracial friendships and family relationships. How can we listen well and love those who are hurting? How can we stand for truth, but with gentleness and respect?

Part 2 of our conversation about "justice." In this teaching, I tackle the questions: What does justice look like for the accused? How should Christians stand for justice for the accused? There was a lot to process in light of the recent events.

How to Answer God's Call to Justice by Krista Bontrager

Guest: Alisa Childers; Progressive theology is the new liberal creep in many evangelical churches and colleges. But what are some of the signs that your local church is drifting into these errors? Let's talk about it.

Truth matters. But it is getting increasingly difficult to find accurate information. Jesus says He IS the Truth. Thus, Christians should have a reputation for being the most truthful people on earth. But sadly, we don’t. How can we do better?

There is a lot of difficult conversation happening this week on social media about the Ahmaud Arbery shooting. Join us for an important conversation with our friends, Jamal Bandy (from Prescribed Truth) and Samuel Sey. How can Christians respond to injustice from a distinctly Christian point of view and not just get swept away by emotionalism or tribalism?

There are several factors happening in our culture right now that are an assault on God’s will for us to work. But if we are going to live a holy life, then we need to include some discussion about our theology of work.

Prosperity is an idea that has been hijacked by Word of Faith preachers. But living paycheck-to-paycheck isn't part of God's plan for His people either. Let's talk about how living according to God’s wisdom can help us flourish.

There is a lot of conversation happening right now about loving our neighbor. And it all sounds so pretty. But it's actually a fairly complicated issue. I want to highlight some relevant points from Scripture to help us think this through a bit more.

Our friend, Jim Moseley (TheBibleHistoryGuy.com) came on and give us a masterclass about the final hours of Jesus. We tackled questions like, What day did Jesus actually die on? Was the Last Supper a Passover meal? And how did darkness fall during Jesus' crucifixion? Then we spent some time asking some questions that are concerning us about the restrictions against gathering as a church.

There are many speculations about the "mark of the beast." When I was a kid, there were concerns about using credit cards and using bar codes. More recently, it’s microchips and now vaccines. What does it really mean?

If the resurrection of Jesus is the most important event in the Christian faith, why are the Gospel accounts so contradictory? Former cold case detective, J. Warner Wallace will bring his expertise in interviewing hundreds of eyewitnesses in his career to help us understand this curious aspect of the Gospels.

He has been platformed recently at the CRU Winter conference and has participated in other large events sponsored by The Gospel Coalition, ERLC, and is a prominent speaker with RZIM. But what is his theology of same sex attraction? This video is a follow up to a previous podcast on the Revoice conference.

There is a frequent accusation in our culture that Christianity is a "white" religion. But is that true? We will look at the North African roots of the Christian faith and some of the key African Fathers.

What does Matt. 7:1 mean? Is Jesus saying that we can never call someone’s actions right or wrong?
