Monique and Krista provide more examples of how progressive Christian politicians and pastors use the Bible and their pulpits to promote laws and policies that they believe are based on the Bible. It sounds a little Christian nationalist-y to us....Read our short essay on Christian Nationalismhttps://www.centerforbiblicalunity.com/post/christian-nationalism

NYC crowned a self-declared socialist mayor who wants government to be your god, your therapist, and your landlord. We play the 7-second clip where Zohran Mamdani promises “no problem too big for government to solve,” watch Tucker Carlson lob marshmallows at basement führer Nick Fuentes, and talk about the fallout at the Heritage Foundation. This unscripted family meeting is your wake-up call about the split happening now among Conservatives.
Krista and Monique expose the dark side of SNAP and welfare dependency, triggered by viral videos of massive EBT-funded grocery hauls that scream entitlement. The reality is, there are 41.7 million people—one in eight residents of America—on SNAP. This is immoral and soul-damaging. Long-term government handouts can create lifelong reliance, infantilize adults, and embody socialism where the state that feeds you can just as easily starve you. We also discuss the reality that biblical justice demands charity starting at home and in the church—not endless checks—while urging relief to lead to development through discipleship, work, and self-sufficiency. Bonus: Monique roasts black pastors praying over Muslim socialist Zohran Mamdani and we briefly discuss the rise of the Red-Green alliance.

Watch now to get equipped with the questions you need to ask any Christian college.

Toward the end, we shared some of our personal thoughts and experiences with the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR).

Monique is joined by Dr. Thaddeus Williams, professor at Biola University, for a deep dive into a conversation of socialism versus capitalism from a biblical perspective. They discuss why many young Christians, particularly those aged 18-29, are drawn to socialist ideas. They unpack the misconceptions about socialism, its historical track record, and how it aligns—or conflicts—with biblical principles. Discover why 60-62% of young Americans view socialism favorably and explore the dangers of blending socialist ideology with Christian theology. They tackle tough questions: Is wealth inherently exploitative? Can markets exist under socialism? How should Christians approach justice and helping the poor? This thought-provoking discussion challenges bumper-sticker slogans and encourages viewers to love God and the poor with both heart and mind.📌 Book recommendations:👉 Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth: 12 Questions Christians Should Ask About Social Justice: https://www.amazon.com/Confronting-Injustice-without-Compromising-Truth/dp/0310119480 👉 Social Justice and the Christian Church: https://www.amazon.com/Social-Justice-Christian-Church-Ronald/dp/0788099167👉 Social Justice: How Good IntentionsUndermine Justice and Gospel: https://downloads.frc.org/EF/EF13E133.pdf

Monique is out of town this week, so Krista is filling in. In a recent interview with Sean Hannity, Vice President Vance mentioned an "old idea" called the "ordering of loves." This caused Christian Twitter to break down. Suddenly everyone was weighing in about a fairly obscure issue in public theology. Krista explains the biblical foundation for this idea in today's Family Meeting.Check out our friend Sam Sey's article for more on this topic: https://slowtowrite.com/is-jd-vances-ordered-love-biblical/NOTE: The first 30 minutes of our Family Meeting had technical issues with the audio and has been removed.

Trying to study and understand the issue of Christian nationalism has been a long and winding road for us. When it started popping up on social media two years ago, we didn't even know what to do with the topic. We've had a few public conversations about it, but haven't shared too much about our own personal views. We've been in a mode of learning. But tonight, Krista will explain her journey with the topic and the key questions involved in the debate.

A couple days ago, we made a post about Our Daily Bread sponsoring this weekend's, Joy and Justice conference. That post got over 100+ shares. Since then, the president of ODB responded. We discussed the whole situation today on the Family Meeting. We also discussed whether Christians should send "good vibes" to others. And Monique tried to "stump the scholar" by asking Krista a question she got recently from a non-Christian friend about the Holy Spirit.Related posts:• https://www.facebook.com/centerforbiblicalunity/posts/pfbid022Kn4GPbtuY7JntaPAYcacYg2adjzxs3m4L3ExktteY6ahuGD4ndAjJgzTdKdidCLl• https://www.facebook.com/centerforbiblicalunity/posts/pfbid02itAaVGRy2T7FWrozRmMJ1z8TRp2A2rDTEmNWSZNwZua9SZQQa7i4rDX7N9WX2uGU

In the interest of fairness and accuracy, we are adding a couple strings from X about whether the boxers in the Olympics are actually men.

Toward the end, Monique and Kevin interact with a viewer who takes issue with their perspective on the problems and solutions in the black community.
What should Christians of any ethnicity think about Juneteenth?

We are continuing to help you get ahead on an emerging concern that seems like it is coming on strong in some Christian circles.This is a continuation of the discussion we had a few weeks ago on All The Thing with our friend Kevin Briggins about the rise of the "woke right." We've received a lot of feedback about the show so we invited Kevin back to help us talk through another aspect of the issue: Who should qualify to be an American citizen? We want to help you make sense of what's happening and how to think about it in light of the Christian worldview.Read the full tweet: https://x.com/contramordor/status/1794811572684263627

The Evangelical Theological Society (ETS) annual meeting is like Comicon for theology nerds. This is the place where evangelical scholars (the people who write the commentaries and study Bibles) present academic papers to each other. Many of these ideas are then taken back into seminaries, ministries, and local churches. We wanted to share about some of the papers we heard this week at ETS and how we think these ideas will potentially influence your Christian circles.For more, see our friend, Dr Bill Roach's discussion on the Chicago Statement of inerrancy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REGwc5JmXhM
WORLDVIEW SERIESIn this special livestream series, Monique is joined by Dr. Joe Miller to discuss the major worldviews. They use Dr. James Sire's book, The Universe Next Door, as the foundation for their discussion.We all have a lens by which we view the world, a worldview. As Christians, viewing the world through a distinctly Christian lens is important, but this can be difficult. Each worldview answer major life questions: what does it mean to be human, what is the meaning of reality, what is the meaning of history, how is knowledge obtained and what is knowable? Living in a religiously pluralistic society, we can unintentionally borrow from non-Christian worldviews.

The governor of New Mexico suspended the 2nd Amendment for "health" reasons. It has made Monique ask: How does the Scripture come to bear on the issue of self-defense?A judge in Canada took "historic injustices" into account when sentencing a black man. Is that actually just? A top criminology prof who 'proved' systemic racism was fired for faking data. Monique will share her thoughts about that situation.
It was a hodge podge of topics today on the Family Meeting.. • Segment 1: Is DEI waning? • Segment 2: Thoughts about what to do when a DEI training gets out of control. Is a man's suicide just the cost of justice? • Segment 3: At the end, Kevin hopped on and we talked about Western beauty standards and whether it's racist to find certain ethnicities more attractive.

The Twitter Files have been coming out over the last week. It's been a lot of data dumps. But one employee's message caught our attention. Find out why we think it's a great practical example for others to follow who want to stand for justice. Plus, join us to watch a CRAZY video outlining one man's dystopian vision for the future of human reproduction. Imagine there are no parents....it's easy if you try....
We are discussed 3 spicy topics on tonight's Family Meeting. • Candace and Kanye West wear "White Lives Matter" shirts (Guest: Kevin Briggins) • Candace Owens' new documentary on BLM (Guest: Kevin Briggins) • Racist comments by L.A. city council members on "hot mic." (Guest: Lisa Spencer)

Our answer might surprise you! • The bodily autonomy of black women in the discussion about abortion
Heyyyyy Family! We are finally home from the road. So obviously, there is a Family Meeting tonight. Here's what is on the agenda:
• We will be reacting to this video published on The Gospel Coalition's web site ---> https://www.instagram.com/reel/CjTY_P.... Are words like "anti-racism" and "woke" redeemable? • Some observations from our trip to Grove City College • Our new training on Queer Theory
There is all manner of confusion out there about the word "diversity." It is looked upon as an almost universal good. But what does it mean...exactly? Let's talk about it.
We will be reacting to several things we've seen on Twitter things this week. What do you want to talk about?
It's been all over Twitter this week: Minneapolis says they will downsize white teachers first. Monique is going to break it down. What's real and what's make believe and what is this even about???
We have received a lot of inquiries asking for Monique to comment on the new documentary, Unspoken. She has watched it and has 15 pages of notes. And a lot of thoughts.
We are getting in the way back machine, all the way back to 1994 and see where we were with the race conversation two years after the Rodney King riots and how it compares to our current rhetoric two years after George Floyd.
Tune in for the Family Meeting. It's a hodge podge of topics about (mostly stupid) things in the news. Plus, we have matching shirts.
• Twerking for justice • Comprehensive sex ed • Felons as an emerging "oppressed" group
We are talking about systemic racism: how to know if it's real or if it's a social justice warrior "crying wolf." We'll also ask questions about prison sentencing, since two VERY famous people were both sentenced this week for sex trafficking. The white woman got 20 years. The black man got 30. Is this racist? It's an important question.
We discussed some of the up-and-coming trends in the Critical Social Theories, including Critical Child Studies. This is vital information to help you make sense of what's happening in the culture through a historic Christian lens.
Topics covered: • Upcoming WIA conference • Pride month • Parents vs. Educators • How Krista learned to stop being afraid of being cancelled
