Cultural narratives are redefining identity through the lens of race, but Scripture calls us to view ourselves through the truth of God’s Word. In this episode, Pastor Stephen and Pastor Nate address the concept of "whiteness" as a social construct and the dangers of allowing ideologies like Critical Race Theory (CRT) to distort biblical truth. They explore how redefining morality, justice, and identity apart from Christ leads to division and confusion, and why anchoring our understanding in Scripture is essential to staying grounded in God’s truth.
