40: The Substance Reflects | Systemic Racism


Listen Later

We're finally here.

Whether it's clearly articulated or not, the topic of this episode is at the heart of so many of our modern conflicts, inside and outside of the Church. And to a degree, it's simple. The notion of systemic racism is either true or untrue. If we can find no correlation of the claims of systemic racism to reality, then we must reject it. However, if we investigate the claims of those who say that systemic racism is at the core of so many of our societal ills and find them to be true, we have a lot of work to do. Especially if we are folks who claim or seek to take God seriously in His revealed Word.

This may not be the easiest listen, but it's important. Truth and justice matter to God and they should matter to us. Pray and seek God's wisdom as you listen and please be sure to contact us with any feedback you have (after you've looked into some of the sources!).
