If you say the wrong thing about race, even innocently, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll be convicted and cancelled in the court of public opinion and maybe even the church. In fact, the election revealed a divide between ethnic groups in the church. So how can we come together as Christians to discuss this controversial issue without losing friendships in the process?

This week on the podcast, Frank is joined by two people who are no strangers to difficult conversations when it comes to race and religion, Monique Duson and Krista Bontrager, co-founders of The Center for Biblical Unity and co-authors of the brand-new and much anticipated book, ‘Walking in Unity: Biblical Answers to Questions on Race and Racism.’ Together, Frank, Monique, and Krista tackle the following questions:

• Why has the black community historically voted for Democrats?
• Why did more black men vote for Republicans in this past presidential election?
• What’s the historical connection between slavery and abortion?
• Why is equating race to LGBTQ+ issues a fallacy?
• What does Darwinism have to do with racism?
• Where did the concept of “race” originally come from and is it biblical?
• What’s the definition of systemic racism and how is it different from systematic racism?
• Why is defining our terms so important?
• Why do we see such a high percentage of black men committing crimes and going to prison? Is systemic racism to blame?
• What is the ultimate solution to all of this?

You may be tempted to avoid the subject of race and racism at all costs during your everyday conversations, but as Christians we have a moral obligation to walk towards problems and not away from them. As you listen to the program, you’ll be encouraged by Monique and Krista as they discuss with grace and clarity the tough issues that the larger culture has brought into our churches. Be sure to grab a copy of their book, ‘Walking in Unity‘, for an even more in-depth look at these issues along with clear and concise explanations for why we’re all brothers and sisters in the family of Christ!
