 
Is the black church still relevant to today’? Or has it betrayed its legacy of social activism? In this episode of Just Thinking, Darrell and Virgil chop up the topic of how a perceived lack of social activism is causing many black millennial Christians to leave the church and how the words of John Calvin can help reorient us to a proper view of justice in today’s society.

What is a ‘black’ conservative? What does the qualifier ‘black.’ add to ‘conservatism’ as an ideology or philosophy so that black conservatives are viewed as political anomalies? Why are black people who are conservative so often labeled an “Uncle Tom” (among other pejorative terms)? Darrell and Virgil take on those questions, and more, in this “burn the ships” episode of the Just Thinking podcast, titled “Black Conservatism.”

EP # 128 | Black Conservatism

In this episode of the Just Thinking podcast, co-hosts Darrell Harrison and Virgil Walker discuss a biblical theology of abortion from the 3-point thesis that: 1) Abortion is the premeditated murder of unborn image-bearers of God (Gen. 1:27). 2) Murder is sin in God’s sight (Ex. 20:13). 3) In view of numbers 1 and 2, no individual has the right to premeditatedly end the life of an unborn child regardless of the circumstances by which that unborn child is conceived. Additionally, Darrell and Virgil connect the issue of abortion to the historical agenda of feminism and the LGBTQ movement of the 1800s.

EP # 127 | A Biblical Theology of Abortion (Part 1)

In this rare "freestyle" episode, in which there are no prepared notes, Darrell and Virgil discuss such topics as: the dangers of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI), the theological legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the resignation of former Harvard University president Dr. Claudine Gay, the progressive paganism of the Climate Change movement, the impact of the social gospel on the Black Church, and others.
