| Debunking: Critical Race Theory. a misguided fix to a broken system | 20 Apr 2023 | 01:03:42 | |
You've heard it brought up at school board meetings, you've heard political pundits talk about it, but what business is it for pastors to talk about Critical Race Theory too? While we don't know what it is like to be a minority growing up in America and we do acknowledge the system isn't perfect, Critical Race Theory is not the fix. In fact, it is incompatible with Christianity, #cricital race theory, #debunking, #racism, #antirascist | |||

| Because I say so: The power of words | 24 Jun 2022 | 00:43:09 | |
Will Harley was reading through the book "Without Flesh," and He and Dave talk about one chapter in the book about the power of words (although Dave may only want to talk about his most recent favorite Dad jokes). While it may seem like we are just geeking out on theology (which, if we're honest, we like to do), but the words we speak, whether in church or in the home, have a powerful creative impact on those who hear them (even if it's dad jokes creating laughter or eye rolls).
