VOX Mini - Privilege, Kerfuffle & Liberal Co Hosts: A Conversation on Theology, Privilege, and Speaking the Beauty of Jesus (YouTube Q&A Series #2)
Does a shift in language signal a shift in theology? In this intimate and challenging episode of our new YouTube Q&A Series, Mike Erre, Tim Stafford, and guest Bonnie Lewis respond to a listener's thoughtful concern about Mike's theological trajectory and the rise of “progressive” terms like privilege, oppression, and intersectionality on the podcast. What unfolds is a rich, nuanced, and vulnerable conversation about language, biblical faithfulness, and how diverse voices shape how we express the gospel.
Mike clarifies that while his core beliefs haven’t changed, his expression of faith has evolved to be more compassionate and inclusive—a shift he argues is distinctly biblical, not political. Bonnie offers a powerful reflection on being a woman in theology and pushes back on long-standing assumptions about women’s roles in the church. Together, the team explores how using cultural language within a gospel framework can help reach those on the margins without compromising the mission of Jesus.
Key Takeaways: • The difference between theological liberalism and cultural engagement—and why embracing inclusive language doesn’t mean abandoning orthodoxy. • How Mike’s evolving understanding of being pro-life now includes the marginalized, immigrants, and the oppressed—not just the unborn. • Bonnie’s candid response to the gendered dynamics of theological critique and a powerful plea for women’s voices to be heard as equals in the church. • Why language like “privilege” can open gospel conversations, not shut them down, when used with intentionality and grace. • How the Voxology team is committed to walking faithfully in the tension between truth and compassion by reflecting the widening love of Jesus.
