EPISODE 0128 | Woke Mirage: Don't Be A Racist
THESE NOTES ACCOMPANY EPISODE 0128
In a world where the definition of racism keeps changing, Pastor Nate shares his personal journey of being pulled into performative anti-racism and the exhausting demands of an ever-shifting ideology. What began with a genuine desire to love others turned into a pursuit of approval from a cultural narrative rooted in guilt and compliance. In this episode, Pastor Stephen and Pastor Nate unpack how true unity isn’t found in appeasing culture but in anchoring identity and justice in the unchanging truth of Scripture.
Main Topics Covered:
✔️ How modern definitions of racism have shifted from actions to identity.
✔️ Pastor Nate’s story of trying to be an ally—and the pressure that followed.
✔️ Why performative anti-racism offers no grace or finish line.
✔️ The danger of rooting morality in culture instead of Scripture.
✔️ Reclaiming biblical identity, justice, and unity.
Key Scriptures:
📖 Galatians 3:28 – In Christ, there is no Jew or Greek.
📖 Micah 6:8 – Do justice, love mercy, walk humbly.
📖 Ephesians 4:3 – Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit.
Key Takeaways:
🔹 Cultural definitions of racism create confusion and division.
🔹 True unity comes from shared identity in Christ—not ideological alignment.
🔹 The gospel offers grace, clarity, and reconciliation.
🔹 We must resist narratives that redefine sin and silence Scripture.
