    Nov 20 2024

    Few issues are more volatile and emotionally charged than conversations surrounding racism, social justice, and critical social theories. What does it look like to faithfully follow Jesus, who calls Christians to be unified in allegiance to God in this day and age?

    Monique Duson and Krista Bontrager, co-founders of The Center for Biblical Unity, suggest some constructive and God-honoring ways forward. Monique and Krista aim to lead respectful and biblically centered conversations on race, unity, and justice. Starting with Scripture, properly defining terms, and focusing on unity are values they embrace and discuss with Dr. Jeff.
