Summary

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!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)

There's an ugly history to it.

0:13.9

And because of that, if you say anything imprecisely, you can be convicted and canceled in the court of public opinion.

0:21.3

That's one reason why some people don't want to talk about this issue.

0:25.5

They just want it to go away, but it's not going to go away.

0:28.3

And we as Christians have a moral obligation to walk toward problems, not away from them.

0:32.8

And if we love Jesus and love our neighbor, we'll address certain moral problems in society, especially when they

affect the church. Now, this show that we're doing is not another show about the election,

0:47.2

but it is a show about a divide in the church that the election helped reveal.

0:55.0

What is that problem and how can we solve it?

0:57.6

Well, before I get into this, we just got back from our fourth unshaken conference in

1:30.9

to questions on race and racism. And ladies and gentlemen, this book has been in process for several

1:39.5

years and it was due to come out a year or so ago and there was a publisher issue.

1:45.0

It just came out last month.
