Hour 1: Critical Dilemma
Where Are Critical Theory and the Social Justice Movement Taking Us?
Critical theory and its expression in fields such as critical race theory, critical pedagogy, and queer theory are having a profound impact on our culture. Contemporary critical theory’s ideas about race, class, gender, identity, and justice have dramatically shaped how people think, act, and view one another—in Christian and secular spheres alike. Our guest will illuminate the origins and influences of contemporary critical theory, considering it in the light of clear reason and biblical orthodoxy. He will expose the false assumptions at the heart of critical theory, arguing that it poses a serious threat to both the church and society at large.
Hour 2: Word and Deed
Bible memory has fallen on hard times. It can feel unnecessary since we have Scripture at our fingertips. Or it just feels daunting and unattainable—you know it’s important, but you’re just not good at it. Our guest will show us that to love God with our hearts, we must first love him with our minds. Through Scripture memorization, we begin to meditate on God’s word and learn to think deeply about God, which leads to intimacy and trust. Then, pregnancy help centers are under attack – through acts of domestic terrorism and through deadly legislation. We will talk with one man who knows about these continued assaults against compassion. Get ready to think critically and biblically this hour.
