I’ll walk through what it means to have GRIT as followers of Christ—Grounded in God’s Word, Resilient in trials, Intentional in faith, and Tenacious for the truth. This is not about applause or comfort but about finishing the...

In today’s episode, we’re digging into spiritual discernment. Everyone practices discernment daily—what to wear, what to eat, who to trust—but spiritual discernment is something deeper. It’s not just a good habit—it’s a biblical command. So what is the gift of discernment, and does that mean only some Christians are expected to use it? Or is spiritual discernment something we’re all called to walk in? I’ll break down the three areas where every Christian must exercise discernment: Truth vs. error Good vs. evil Sin vs. not sin If you've ever wondered how to sharpen...
info_outlineIn this episode, I’m joined by Monique Duson and Krista Bontrager from the Center for Biblical Unity. We dive into what true racial reconciliation looks like from a biblical worldview—and why the church must reject secular ideologies like Critical Race Theory in favor of gospel-centered truth.
Monique and Krista share how their friendship began and how it laid the foundation for their ministry partnership.
Monique unpacks her journey out of the framework of social justice ideology, while Krista brings clarity to the theological dangers of redefining justice, oppression, and reconciliation through a cultural lens. Together, we explore why sound doctrine is essential for discerning truth from error—and how unity in the body of Christ must be grounded in Scripture, not shaped by the shifting winds of culture.
If you’ve ever wrestled with how to think biblically about race, justice, or unity in the church, this conversation will equip and challenge you in all the right ways.
