Theology Mom || All The Things Center for Biblical Unity

Even though the teachings are on hiatus right now due to my dissertation writing and research, I wanted to squeeze in an AMA podcast. I asked followers to submit their questions last week on social media. Here is what YOU asked.

In this special edition of All The Things, Monique, Krista and Kevin went live to offer some biblical wisdom about the apparent attempted assassination on President Trump.

Krista shares some thoughts in response to a recent question we received: How do you obey the fifth commandment (see Eph. 6:1-3; Col. 3:20) when you are an adult, especially if your parents are difficult people or were abusive to you as a child?

A key theme on the podcast this year is justice for the pre-born. We are exploring the issue from a variety of different angles. This week, our friend Katy Faust (from Them Before Us), is coming back on the show to discuss recent developments in the public conversations about IVF and surrogacy. We are going to consider these technologies in light of the Christian worldview.

Last month, we did a show about the "woke right." And then our friend, Alisa Childers, re-released it on her podcast platform. Since then, we've received a lot of feedback about the show and continued to research the issues. Some people say the "woke right" isn't a thing. Others say, it's "absolutely a thing." It's a lot to process. We don't claim to have all the answers, but we are trying to have the public conversations to help the "regular people" make sense of what's emerging among Christian socio-political influencers. We have asked our friend, Neil Shenvi, to come on and help us continue the discussion.

Impromptu livestream: I shared my thoughts about Biola dissolving its DEI department. Do I think it’s good news? Maaaaaaaaybe?? At the end, I share some informal thoughts on Christian Nationalism and my attempt to understand it.
