Summary

Should reparations be paid to people who are the ancestors of slaves? After all, aren't reparations biblical? On this midweek podcast episode, Monique Duson and Krista Bontrager from The Center for Biblical Unity return to continue the conversation that centers on their new book, 'Walking in Unity: Biblical Answers to Questions on Race and Racism' and address the following questions:* Can a biblical case be made for reparations?* What's the major problem with the modern day reparations movement?* Is the way we see Black America today a direct result of slavery?* Are all disparities due to racism?* Did Lyndon Johnson's 'War on Poverty' help or hurt the black community?During the second half of the episode, you'll also hear the fascinating story of how their ministry started, including details of the supernatural event that brought them together and how their friendship remained intact despite the seemingly insurmountable barriers they encountered along the way. It's an amazing testimony of how God still intervenes in our lives today and you definitely don't want to miss it!Resources mentioned during the episode:The Center for Biblical Unity: https://www.centerforbiblicalunity.com/ (https://www.centerforbiblicalunity.com/)Walking in Unity: Biblical Answers to Questions on Race and Racism: https://a.co/d/hEuCdwe (https://a.co/d/hEuCdwe)
