Racism Part 2: Racism and Culture
Thursday Jan 28, 2021
Thursday Jan 28, 2021
Last week we began our discussion on racism by starting off with a foundational question: what is racism? We're continuing this week looking at how culture speaks to our worldview. As we follow the Lord, we come to understand that what we learn culturally ought to yield to God's truth - but culture holds strong over much of our lives.
How do we move past cultural ties as we follow the Lord? How do I recognize when these cultural perspectives are out of alignment with the Lord? Join us this week as we discuss it!

Thursday Jan 14, 2021
Thursday Jan 14, 2021
We are concluding our conversation on repentance by taking a deeper look at how it relates to the humility that is displayed in the lives of Daniel and Paul. In this episode, we focus in on Daniel 9 where we realize that only the Lord is right and our action of humble repentance to things that are out of alignment with Him truly is the right response we need to have.
