As Christian teachers, we must engage with issues surrounding race and justice, but how we do that should look quite different than prevailing secular thought. We must examine everything we are hearing, reading, and thinking in light of the Bible and interpret everything through the lens of the Gospel. Join us as we discuss how much of what we're hearing is actually based in a secular philosophy called Critical Race Theory. But that is not the only way to fight against racism. Through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, God offers a different - and much better - way to pursue unity. Get notes & links at www.teach4theheart.com/151
