Re-Broadcast: Episode 68 Juneteenth and Systematic Racism

In honor of Juneteenth, we wanted to re-air an episode we produced a few years ago. In this episode, we discuss systematic racism, particularly what that has looked like in our local context of Dallas, Texas, and why the Church today should care. We’re also joined by Charlie Dates, senior pastor of Progressive Baptist Church in Chicago for a conversation on the topic. While this episode wasn't recorded recently, the topics are very much relevant today.

Wisdom & Singleness

In this episode, Elizabeth is joined by a few friends to discuss some of the misconceptions  surrounding singleness in both secular and Christian culture. They share their personal experiences navigating singleness and address harmful lies that often creep into the conversation, such as the notion that being single means something is wrong with you or that marriage is the only path to sanctification. Additionally, we explore a biblical view of singleness and sexuality in a post-christian culture that holds sexual expression as integral to being truly human.
