Unworthy rebels, redeemed by the King of Kings and made servants fit for His use.
This week, Chris goes solo as he discusses recent developments in the rule and reign of politics in America. Yes, even tyranny for “the good of the people” is still tyranny. Should Christians be concerned and how should we act in light of these events?

This week, Chris and Rich debate (sort of) the necessity of Owen Strachan’s new book “Christianity and Wokeness.” Using precepts gleaned from the text, Chris and Rich provide a real-world exercise using Strachan’s concepts from his book.

I was fortunate to be part of the Launch Team for Owen Strachan’s new book, “Christianity and Wokeness.” As such, I was able to read an early edition of the book sent out to all Launch Team members to read and review prior to the release of the book. I must say that this text is not only an excellent treatment of the subject, but does a fantastic job of equipping Christians and Churches to respond biblically to “Wokeness.”
In “Christianity and Wokeness,” Owen Strachan provides the church with a much-needed resource. Christians are being challenged daily to take up the mantle of “wokeness” and “social justice” as a mandatory requirement of preaching the gospel, but should they be doing so? Owen Strachan pulls back the curtain to help Christians see exactly what “wokeness” is and why it is antithetical to biblical truth.
Strachan spends two chapters explaining what wokeness is and how it has infiltrated society at large and the church specifically. He then takes the time to break down the tenets of wokeness, drawing from the primary sources themselves. Contrasting these teachings with Scripture, he demonstrates that wokeness is an ungodly ideology that is wholly incompatible with the teachings of Scripture.
Strachan then takes his readers through a biblical analysis of identity and ethnicity as it is revealed in God’s Word. He provides the church with biblical answers as to who and what man truly is, the nature of sin (including partiality and ethnic hatred), and points to the only possible solution between God and men, the gospel.
“Christianity and Wokeness” is a great resource for Christians and the church. In a time when so many are trying to use the world’s definitions to explain equality, fairness, justice and love, Christians need to be reminded that God has already defined them in the Scriptures. “Christianity and Wokeness” will equip Christians to not only understand the issues at hand but to respond biblically when the world demands they acquiesce to their demands. I highly recommend this text to Christians and churches everywhere.
This week, Chris is joined by a special guest, Andrew Rappaport of Striving For Eternity, to revisit the unbiblical claim that Christians are to be “Christlike” but not “biblical.”

It’s Rewind time! Let’s look back at when Rich and Chris returned from an unintended sabbatical. They discuss the various trials they have faced and what this has taught them about trusting in God’s sovereign plans for our lives.
This week, Chris and Rich and discuss the issue of sermon plagiarism. Recent events have revealed this is far more common in churches than most of us realize. Can it really be called plagiarism if sermons are property of the kingdom of God? Why should we care if pastors use others’ sermons as their own?
