Walking in Unity with Monique Duson and Krista Bontrager
Description
How can we come together as Christians to discuss the controversial issues of race and racism without losing friendships in the process? This week on the podcast, Frank is joined by two people who are no strangers to difficult conversations, Monique Duson and Krista Bontrager, co-founders of The Center for Biblical Unity and co-authors of the brand-new and much anticipated book, 'Walking in Unity: Biblical Answers to Questions on Race and Racism.' Together, Frank, Monique, and Krista tackle the following questions:
- Why has the black community historically voted for Democrats?
- Why did more black men vote for Republicans in this past presidential election?
- What's the historical connection between slavery and abortion?
- Why is equating race to LGBTQ+ issues a fallacy?
- What does Darwinism have to do with racism?
- Where did the concept of "race" originally come from and is it biblical?
- What's the definition of systemic racism and how is it different from systematic racism?
- Why is defining our terms so important?
- Why do we see such a high percentage of black men committing crimes and going to prison? Is systemic racism to blame?
- What is the ultimate solution to all of this?
Be sure to grab a copy of their book, 'Walking in Unity', for an even more in-depth look at these issues along with clear and concise explanations for why we're all brothers and sisters in the family of Christ!
