Summary
John and Shane address the issue of racial care in our churches. A listener’s church is teaching Critical Race Theory (CRT) to help heal. John is quick to note that Christians should have commitment to their church and to addressing the issues that arise. He and Shane point out why CRT is problematic for Christians and provide context on how to approach an issue when a church uses the world’s tools to try to fix the problem of sin.
Another listener asked a question related to the sexual revolution. Are women and children really disproportionately affected by the sexual revolution? John pulls out a Margaret Meade quote, stating that a primary role of a society is to find a proper place for men. While not agreeing with Meade’s worldview, John provides the listener a context to understand the broken promises of Margaret Sanger’s sexual revolution, that women would be liberated and children would finally have happy parents.
To close Shane engages a question the pair left us with last week. The question from a listener who asks about morality and where it comes from. John and Shane address an atheistic perspective and what evolutionary morality leads to. John does a quick survey of transhumanism and the goal of evolution as the pair provide helpful frameworks for us to engage challenging questions on where morality comes from and how we use it.

| 0:06.0 | I'm Shane Morris and I'm here with John Stone Street answering your questions. |
| 0:10.0 | These are questions based on breakpoint commentaries and podcasts that we've aired recently, |
| 0:14.0 | short courses we've held, and articles and columns that we've posted. |
| 0:18.0 | On the docket today, we've got questions about men and women, about race, |
| 0:21.4 | about atheism, and even about a TV show. And I have no idea how many we'll be able to get to, |
| 0:26.6 | John, but I just love the variety. I love the breadth of subjects that we get to talk about in this |
| 0:31.6 | podcast segment. And so keep them coming. Thank you so much for your submissions. You can add to those |
| 0:36.4 | at Ask the Colson |
| 0:37.9 | Center at colsoncenter.org. The first question today has to do with a topic that we have |
| 0:43.7 | discussed before here, and it's a very contentious topic, a very hotly debated topic, and one that |
| 0:48.6 | characterizes in many ways the past year. I think other than COVID, this John will be the story |
| 0:53.2 | that comes out of this past year, and it's than COVID, this, John, will be the story that comes out of this |
| 0:54.7 | past year. And it's the issue of racism, intersectionality, black lives matter, and how we deal with |
| 1:01.1 | that. And I think we're still feeling our way through that as Christians. But let me just read the |
| 1:04.1 | question here because it's an important one and we need to discuss it. This listener says, do you |
| 1:09.2 | believe it's possible to use intersectionality and critical race theory as tools for the church |
| 1:14.5 | in the discussion of racial ethnic division? |
| 1:18.0 | How should one go about confronting the lies that exist in critical race theory |
| 1:21.7 | when those in your church do not see it as a threat? |
| 1:25.1 | We're trying to be a part of the solution in our church rather than |
| 1:27.7 | leaving it, but we are seriously wondering if it may be time to leave. The only problem is that |
