Episode 6: Responding to Critical Race Theory with Randy Trahan

In this episode, Professor Trahan tackles the subject of the Sufficiency of Scripture. This is one of crucial importance and one that I believe conservative evangelicals are trying to make a more cogent argument for today.

This comes down to knowing how we handle the Scriptures and apply them to our lives. As it relates to issues surrounding the conversation on racism today--we must approach it from an authority higher than our personal opinions. It must be rooted in the text of Scripture because God has spoken and He is our highest authority.

*Black Lives Matter* - Randy's comment on Black Lives Matter while succinctly stated is representative of both of our views; even so, I (Travis) believe our views can be further expounded upon by this excellent article by Josh Buice of G3: https://g3min.org/three-reasons-why-christians-should-reject-blacklivesmatter/

Recently an organization was formed for the very purpose of upholding the Sufficiency of Scripture & Biblical Values. It is called the Conservative Baptist Network: https://conservativebaptistnetwork.com/
