EPISODE 0123 | Woke Mirage: Diversity Matters
THESE NOTES ACCOMPANY EPISODE 0123
The journey away from biblical truth rarely starts with rebellion—it starts with love misapplied. In this powerful opening to The Woke Mirage series, Pastor Stephen and Pastor Nathan Brown unpack Nathan’s personal story of drifting into wokeness and the grace-filled journey back to God's Word. Through candid conversation and biblical clarity, they expose how the enemy distorts truth under the guise of compassion, and how only a Christ-centered love leads to freedom. This episode lays the foundation for the series and calls every believer to think biblically, love rightly, and stand firm in truth.
Main Topics Covered:
✔️ Diversity reflects God’s creative nature—but it is not our goal, Jesus is.
✔️ The difference between biblical unity and cultural obsession with representation.
✔️ How modern churches can idolize diversity, losing sight of gospel mission.
✔️ Diversity as a byproduct of reaching your community, not a checkbox for success.
✔️ The Revelation 7 misinterpretation—what heaven really looks like and why it matters.
✔️ True equity and unity are found only at the foot of the cross.
Key Scriptures:
📖 Revelation 7:9-10 – People from every tribe and tongue worshiping together before the throne.
📖 Romans 12:1-2 – Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
📖 Ephesians 2 & 4 – Christ unites former enemies into one spiritual family.
