Pastor J.D. and Rebecca McLaughlin discuss some areas of life where Christians have been more shaped by culture than Scripture.

A glimpse inside this episode:

We are in the middle of a really special series of episodes for you. Starting last week (so go back and listen to last week’s episode if you haven’t already), and for three more weeks, we have guest Rebecca McLaughlin joining Pastor J.D.

Rebecca is the author of Confronting Christianity: 12 Hard Questions for the World’s Largest Religion. If you haven’t read this book or have it on your shelf as a reference, you’re really missing out. She also recently released 10 Questions Every Teen Should Ask (and Answer) about Christianity. So get it for your middle or high schoolers. And lastly, her newest book that was released last week: The Secular Creed: Engaging Five Contemporary Claims.

This was originally recorded as a long-form conversation, but we’ve split it up into four questions and answers. Today, Pastor J.D. and Rebecca will spend a few minutes talking about some of the areas where we may have been more shaped by our culture than by Scripture — specifically diving into racism and homosexuality. Rebecca has a lot of wisdom to share with us today as well as pieces of her own story that you don’t want to miss towards the end.
