On this episode of Weekend Debrief, Dave and Wes discuss a part of a question that came in a few weeks ago that they did not have time to answer adequately. They also discuss a closely related question that has been asked directly to them by different people over the last two years. The questions are:
- Are the leaders and preaching of Grace Church being influenced by "left-wing" media?
- Is Grace Church going "woke"?
They talk about what it means to be "woke" and why they would not define themselves that way. They also talk through an article by Kevin DeYoung that shows why some might think Grace Church is going woke when it is not. They finally discuss where they go for news and the voices that are helping to shape their thinking culturally and theologically.
