Family Meeting | CFBU

Monique is back! She survived her class. So let's get caught up. Monique reacts to some recent viral videos and posts. • Black boys don't know what a computer is? • Obesity meets critical theory • Atheists have under estimated the importance of Christianity

Krista is filling in again for Monique on the Family Meeting. This week she explains an emerging position within the prolife movement called abolitionism. Come find out about why some Christians think that abortion should be criminalized. Read Sam Sey’s blog post: https://slowtowrite.com/why-i-am-not-an-abolitionist-on-abortion/ For more about the abolitionist position, see the Abolitionists Risin...

Krista is filling into today again for Monique on the Family Meeting. She is building on last week's discussion about diversity and looking at another popular idea in the DEI conversation: representation. What does it mean and what is it supposed to accomplish?

We haven't had a Family Meeting for a while. Monique has a class during the normal time. But Krista has stepped in to do an explainer video on the issue of "diversity" in hiring practices. She unravels the confusion for regular people.

Monique is eager to share her perspective on a number of news stories. • Is California now paying for gender-affirming care for illegal immigrants? Christians are commanded to love our neighbors. What does that look like in immigration? • Does Gen Z need a new translation of the Bible?

Monique is back! And she has some thoughts about reforming our criminal justice system.

Who's ready for a vacation? We sure are! Monique is back in town so let's connect before the long Thanksgiving weekend. What are you looking forward to? What are you dreading?

The Evangelical Theological Society (ETS) annual meeting is like Comicon for theology nerds. This is the place where evangelical scholars (the people who write the commentaries and study Bibles) present academic papers to each other. Many of these ideas are then taken back into seminaries, ministries, and local churches. We wanted to share about some of the papers we heard this week at ETS and how...

Monique and Krista are joined by Kevin Briggins to talk about common questions we are hearing in the media related to Israel, Palestine, "genocide" and "occupation."

Monique, Krista and Kevin process the events of the last few days in Israel. If you listen to one thing about what’s happening in the Middle East, listen to this livestream. We discussed the history of Israel, why people are celebrating the death of innocent people, and insights into military issues and Islam.

Using Dr. James Sire's book, The Universe Next Door, Monique and Dr. Joe Miller discuss different major worldviews, how they differ from the historic Christian Faith, and why Christianity serves as the most hopeful lens to view the world. ***WORLDVIEW SERIES*** In this special livestream series, Monique is joined by Dr. Joe Miller to discuss the major worldviews.

Family Meeting 9/21/23 by Monique Duson

The governor of New Mexico suspended the 2nd Amendment for "health" reasons. It has made Monique ask: How does the Scripture come to bear on the issue of self-defense? A judge in Canada took "historic injustices" into account when sentencing a black man. Is that actually just? A top criminology prof who 'proved' systemic racism was fired for faking data. Monique will share her thoughts about that...

Hey Family. We met Bishop Wooden! And other adventures on the road. Plus, Mo answers your questions.

It was a hodge podge of topics today on the Family Meeting.. • Segment 1: Is DEI waning? • Segment 2: Thoughts about what to do when a DEI training gets out of control. Is a man's suicide just the cost of justice? • Segment 3: At the end, Kevin hopped on and we talked about Western beauty standards and whether it's racist to find certain ethnicities more attractive.

Hey Family. Alabama Riverboat riot and Florida history. Was Frederick Douglass hijacked by PragerU Kids? Let's talk about it.
