Dr. Jeff Barrows – Christian Medical & Dental Association

India and Covid are still in the news, yet there are some people in India who likely aren’t counted in the death count: the Dalit people, a people who are lowest in India’s caste system.

Today’s Guests

Karen Swallow Prior – SEBTS

Anything that attacks those who bear the image of God is spiritual warfare, so the sexual abuse crisis certainly falls under spiritual warfare. Satan wants to see the church divided and pulled apart, but God wants the church to be cleansed. As we approach this topic we must learn how to become people who are safe for others who have experienced abuse to tell and we must at times take off our rose colored glasses. This topic is hard but necessary and today Karen Swallow Prior and Carmen tackle it further.

Dave Buehring – Lion Share – https://Lionshare.org/

Operating in the opposite spirit is an article on lionshare.org that helps us dig further into a discussion we started in the last episode, one that surrounds people being offended and how we should not “pick up offenses.” As Christians we want to be people like Christ who act in an opposite spirit of the world, one that is of His kingdom. An example: opposite of selfishness is servanthood.

David French – The Dispatch/French Press
