Hey everyone welcome to to the Conversations That Matter podcast. Once again, I'm your

host John Harris. We're going to talk a little bit today about a book called

Critical Race Theory and the Church, which actually just came out. I got one of my copies. I have two copies now, but I got one of them today. And I noticed it was just released on Kindle by Larry Ball, who is a Presbyterian pastor in Kingsport, Tennessee at Bridewell Heights, Presbyterian Church.

Before we get to that, though, I just wanted to make one quick announcement this weekend.

If you live in the Austin, Texas area, you're going to want to come out to the conference that I'm going to be at. Actually, it's myself, it's A.D. Robles, it's Pastor Joel Webbin, and the easiest way probably to find it, because there is a sign up for it. It's free. You don't have to pay anything, but they do want to get somewhat of a head count.

Probably the easiest way to do that, just to go to my website, worldview conversation.com, and then you can go to the tab that says speaking.

And that'll take you to the list of all places I'll be in the next two weeks and there is a website right there right response

ministries.com and then it has the link events free mini conference and that's right outside of

Austin and Taylor Texas March 12th and it's in the afternoon.

I look forward to seeing you there. I will be preaching the next day in Georgetown Texas right outside of Austin at

Covenant Bible Church so that's that's another you know some of you might come out

for both or if you can't make Saturday, then love to see you Sunday.

And then for those in the Nampa Idaho area right outside of Boise, March 18th and 19th,

I'll be at the Rocky Mountain biblical worldview conference and March 20th

I'll be at the Truth Family Bible Church. So I just wanted to make everyone aware of that.

If you live in Idaho, if you live in Texas, it's not like I get to those places very often. In fact I

just added April 8th, San Diego. So you might want to check that out. I'm going to a lot of different places and some of these places do require an email or signing up. So I just wanted to get through that order of business for everyone.

With that, let's get into this book because as you can see it's pretty thin. It's very basic, but I think really informative and there's some things I really like about it.

So we have the author with us.

Pastor Larry Ball, Pastor, thank you so much for joining me.

Thank you for having me.

So I'm just going to say real quick the things that I really like about this.
