Join us for a powerful Family Meeting as Monique dives into critical issues shaping our culture and faith! In this episode, she explores why social justice is not biblical justice, including our upcoming teen book group. She also discusses Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s controversial policies, from hiring practices to sanctuary city stances and abortion advocacy, and their implications for the black church. In the second half of the show, Monique shares about the historical influence of communism in churches, drawing from Manning Johnson’s Color, Communism, and Common Sense. Plus, we address a Colorado Christian camp’s fight against gender-inclusive policies.

What does the arrival of South African refugees in the US mean for Christians? In this Family Meeting, Monique and Kevin dive into the Trump administration’s decision to grant refugee status to 59 white Afrikaners while suspending other refugee programs. We explore the pros and cons of this policy, the land appropriation issues in South Africa, and the biblical question of partiality in justice. We also tackle "black fatigue"—the growing exhaustion with ratchet culture, violence, and racial grievance narratives in the black community. Have "ratchet" black Americans squandered the goodwill of their neighbors? How should Christians respond? Join us for this exciting discussion on race, culture, and justice.

Monique did a public comment on Monday night at a local southern CA school board meeting. Tonight, she's doing a deep dive into the new "Ethnic Studies" curriculum that is now required for CA high school graduates. School boards may tell parents, "There is no Critical Race Theory in high school!" but they're lying.

Someone made a video calling Monique out for defending white people. She has some thoughts. She also shares about a bill making its way through the Colorado legislature that would put parents in peril if they don't affirm their gender-confused children.

Monique and Kevin respond to the recent social media beef between Melissa Dougherty, Allie Beth Stuckey and the black church delegates. Kevin had some strong words to address the problem of ethnic idolatry in the black church.

We discuss some preliminary thoughts about reading Gentle Parenting books, and also react to a couple social media reels on gender confusion. What kind of job does one get if you're an interdisciplinary major? Krista really wants to know.

Monique was joined by our friends, Kevin Briggins, and Brandon Smith from the Black and Blurred podcast to talk about a recent article by our friend Woke Preacher Clips. It's a whole long discussion about the decay of race relations in evangelical churches in the last 10 years.

In the second half of the show, the trio react to Eric Mason's recent statements about the presence of the prosperity Gospel in the black church.

Kevin jumped on the Family Meeting today to share his research about the rumors on social media that thousands of Christians were slaughtered in Syria last weekend. Then Monique and Kevin shared their thoughts about the end of the Black Lives Matter mural in Washington DC and why some people think that CFBU advocates for "wh!t3 suprem@cy."

Krista filled in on the Family Meeting this week. She invited our friend, Pastor George Sayour on to share his perspective about the Andrew Tate phenomenon. In the second half, we discussed Tim Keller's approach to church planting and his idea of third way-ism.
