Family Meeting | CFBU

Our friends over at Informed Takes had a great discussion last week to help us process the continued rise of Islam in the West. They invited our friend, Laura Zifer Powell, to explain Jihadist ideology in light of the recent terrorist event in New Orleans. With their permission, we are rebroadcasting the discussion on our platform as well.

We have been at the annual meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society this week. This is where the scholars who write the textbooks and commentaries that your pastor or future pastor is reading all come together and present papers about their current projects. And it's when Monique and Krista try to sit in on the most progressive papers we can find in order to see what's coming out of evangeli...

This election season feels exhausting. We saw a video this week where yet another Democrat was in a black church telling everyone how to vote.

And Monique tried to "stump the scholar" by asking Krista a question she got r...

Kevin posted a picture of Abraham Lincoln this week on social media in celebration of Juneteenth. It blew up. Monique and Kevin share their perspectives about the pros and cons of Juneteenth and how it's been hijacked by race grievance hustlers. Toward the end, Monique and Kevin interact with a viewer who took issue with their perspective on the problems and solutions in the black community.

What should Christians of any ethnicity think about Juneteenth? Our co-founder, Monique Duson, shares some historical context behind the holiday and why it was meaningful to the African American community long before the rise of Critical Race Theory. Monique's article: https://www.centerforbiblicalunity.com/post/how-to-celebrate-juneteenth

If you felt like Critical Race Theory caught you off guard in 2020, then you won't want to miss this show! We are continuing to help you get ahead on an emerging concern that seems like it is coming on strong in some Christian circles. This is a continuation of the discussion we had a few weeks ago on All The Things with our friend Kevin Briggins about the rise of the "woke right." We've received...
