Should Christians Be Critical Of Critical Race Theory? (Rewind)

Churches are adopting CRT...should they?  Can it be used as an analytical tool for the Gospel?

On this episode, we address the question, "Should Christians be critical of Critical Race Theory?"   Critical Race Theory, or CRT, is finding it's way into evangelical circles at a rapid rate and has been adopted in American culture.  In fact, it's an issue that is starting to divide the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), one of the biggest denominations in America.  So what's the big deal?  Is this a good and helpful theory for sharing the Gospel and accomplishing Jesus' Great Commission or does it detract from it?  We spend time defining CRT and the implications it has on Christianity as well as looking at what Scripture has to say about some of the core tenants of CRT.  Our hope is that as you listen, you grow in a knowledge of God and his Word as well as helping you to see this topic from a biblical framework.
