47. What the Church Is Getting Wrong about Race and Racism, with Monique Duson and Krista Bontrager
Description
Today I’m talking with my good friends from the Center for Biblical Unity, Monique Duson and Krista Bontrager, about their new book, Walking in Unity: Biblical Answers to Questions on Race and Racism. Ever since 2020, there have been all kinds of discussions about race in the church, and unfortunately a lot of those discussions have included some very unbiblical ways of thinking. I’m so grateful that Krista and Monique have written this excellent and accessible book that counteracts culture's problematic ideas. In this conversation, we cover all kinds of topics, like:
- What is the difference between anti-racism, racial reconciliation, and biblical unity?
- Should the church see disparities between races as evidence of racism?
- Why haven’t churches been better at biblical discernment with respect to identifying unbiblical ideas about race and racism?
- How much should the church be addressing racial justice? Is it mostly a “progressive” issue?
- Is a “colorblind” approach the best solution?
- Should all churches be multiethnic?
- And much more.
