Hey guys, welcome to relatable happy Monday. I hope everyone had a great weekend. There's a lot of craziness that's going on right now and we're going to break some of that down. We are continuing our election series.

The first bit of the election series, the first episode of it was about abortion and we compared Trump versus Joe Biden on the issue of abortion.

We talked about what abortion is. We looked at abortion policy and so make sure that you listen to that. The second episode was last week. I interviewed Dr. John McArthur at the end, but before that we talked about religious liberty, the importance of religious liberty. What I think the Trump administration and Republicans in general have done to protect religious liberty.

I talked about religious liberty and what I want them to do and why I believe that the democratic platform is an assault on religious liberty and why that's something that Christians should care about.

Today we are going to talk about justice, justice from a biblical perspective and this is going to be different than the previous two episodes where we kind of look specifically at the policies between the two parties and between the two candidates.

Because I just want to look at this issue of justice in general and for those of you who have been listening or watching to listening to or watching relatable for a good amount of time, you know that we have talked about justice and social justice so much because I think it is an issue that many Christians and professing Christians are very confused about.

And it is damaging your worldview, it's damaging your theology. I have seen people get this one subject wrong and their entire worldview falls apart sooner.

Sooner or later they end up saying, well maybe Jesus is not the only way, the only truth in the only life. Maybe there are other ways to get to the Father except through Him.

It's very interesting that this subject when you link arms with the world, the rest of your biblical perspective kind of disintegrates and because there is so much confusion, I think coming from evangelical pole pets, I want to try to offer as much clarity as I can.

I mean, I've seen so many Christians jump on this social justice ban wagon, especially in relation to the issue of race and there's so much that I could talk about today that we won't get into that I'm sure I will get into it in another episode soon.

But I want to relate this conversation back to the things that are happening right now back to the incident with Jacob Blake and back to the riots and the arson and the looting and the protest and the demonstrations that are going on across the country right now.

Because I want to make sure that as Christians we have a right, a right view of this maybe you are someone who is on the other side of the aisle and your friends shared this podcast with you.

You are going to disagree with me. You're probably going to be uncomfortable at certain points of this. First of all, I'm really glad that you're here. It really takes a lot to listen to a podcast that you know that you're probably going to disagree with in some of you in the past week or so have reached out to me.

And we've had a good productive dialogue about this. I mean, I had a conversation with someone who it sounds like is very far left and she was so respectful and so kind and sent me links and we went back and forth on our perspectives.

And she said she was going to listen to further episodes and that just that just means the world to me and that gives me a lot of hope.

I am not hopeless because there are a large number of people who disagree with me. First of all, I don't think that I'm right on everything and I think that disagreement is good.

I am I don't I'm not despairing, but I'm disappointed. What I am disappointed in is that we seem to not be able to in so many instances have any kind of rational,

rational, rational disagreement or productive dialogue because it so quickly becomes emotional and we're not on the same page at all.

We don't have the same starting point at all. We don't have the same goals or aims at all until it becomes very difficult to have any kind of discussion or debate.

But when those of you who do disagree with me reach out to me and we have a respectful dialogue, that just gives me so much hope and it also teaches me a lot of things.

It teaches me about your perspective. Maybe I won't change my mind. Maybe you won't change yours, but it's really helpful.

And what I want this podcast to do for those of you who do tend to agree with me and who are Christians and conservatives, I want this podcast to be equipping for you.
