Ep 878 | Why Does Social Justice Divide the Church? | Guest: Voddie Baucham

Published: Sept. 25, 2023, 7 p.m.

Today we're joined by Dr. Voddie Baucham, dean of theology at African Christian University in Zambia, to discuss his 'Fault Lines' curriculum and why it's so important for the church to understand how to talk about race and social justice in a biblical way. We discuss why we need to define terms such as "social justice," that have led Christians to talk past each other. Why are race and social justice the topics that tends to divide the church, and what can we do about it? We also look at the difference between how somewhere like Zambia sees the topic of race versus America, and we touch on why disparities do not equal discrimination.\n\nYou can get Dr. Baucham's 'Fault Lines' curriculum here: https://watch.salemnow.com/series/tkhAeeI18CM0-fault-lines\n\nYou can get "Ever-Loving Truth: Can Faith Thrive in a Post-Christian Culture?" here: https://www.amazon.com/Ever-Loving-Truth-Thrive-Post-Christian-Culture/dp/168451407X\n\n---\n\nTimecodes:\n\n(01:30) Faultlines / defining terms\n(04:55) Why does race seem to be the issue driving us apart?\n(11:00) Responding to social justice rhetoric\n(13:44) Tony Timpa\n(18:17) Discussion of race in Zambia vs. U.S.\n(25:10) Discrimination do not equal disparities\n(33:25) Ever-Loving Truth: Can Faith Thrive in a Post-Christian Culture?\n\n---\n\nToday's Sponsors:\n\nCozy Earth \u2014 go to CozyEarth.com/ALLIE and use promo code 'RELATABLE' at checkout to save 35% off your order!\n\nPre-Born \u2014 will you help rescue babies' lives?
