In another special episode, Pastor J.D.  addresses the question: “Is the Deliberate Pursuit of Ethnic Unity the Same As DEI?”

Key Takeaways:
    • There is an unbiblical DEI that really is about quota and virtue signaling.
    • Hiring practices should consider the experience of candidates over age 50.
    • Ageism can be a concern when hiring for specific demographics.
    • DEI initiatives can sometimes miss the mark by focusing on superficial metrics.
    • Experience can be more valuable than age in certain roles.
    • The conversation challenges traditional views on diversity in hiring.
    • Understanding the context of DEI is crucial for effective implementation.
    • Church leadership hiring should prioritize the ability to connect with the community.
    • Quotas can undermine the true purpose of diversity initiatives.
    • Real diversity includes valuing experience alongside demographic factors.

      • Dive more into this conversation with Pastor J.D.’s new book, Everyday Revolutionary, which explores how ordinary believers can live out the gospel in ways that transform their communities.
