What should Christians of any ethnicity think about Juneteenth? Our co-founder, Monique Duson, shares some historical context behind the holiday and why it was meaningful to the African American community long before the rise of Critical Race Theory.

If you felt like Critical Race Theory caught you off guard in 2020, then you won't want to miss this show! We are continuing to help you get ahead on an emerging concern that seems like it is coming on strong in some Christian circles.

This is a continuation of the discussion we had a few weeks ago on All The Things with our friend Kevin Briggins about the rise of the "woke right." We've received a lot of feedback about the show so we invited Kevin back to help us talk through another aspect of the issue: Who should qualify to be an American citizen? We want to help you make sense of what's happening and how to think about it in light of the Christian worldview.

Krista is filling into today again for Monique on the Family Meeting. She is building on last week's discussion about diversity and looking at another popular idea in the DEI conversation: representation. What does it mean and what is it supposed to accomplish?

We haven't had a Family Meeting for a while. Monique has a class during the normal time. But Krista has stepped in to do an explainer video on the issue of "diversity" in hiring practices. She unravels the confusion for regular people.

Monique is eager to share her perspective on a number of news stories.

• Is California now paying for gender-affirming care for illegal immigrants? Christians are commanded to love our neighbors. What does that look like in immigration?

• Does Gen Z need a new translation of the Bible?

Monique is back! And she has some thoughts about reforming our criminal justice system.
