Why Does Social Justice Divide the Church? | Guest: Voddie Baucham | Ep 878

Today we're joined by Dr. Voddie Baucham, dean of theology at African Christian University in Zambia, to discuss his 'Fault Lines' curriculum and why it's so important for the church to understand how to talk about race and social justice in a biblical way. We discuss why we need to define terms such as "social justice," that have led Christians to talk past each other. Why are race and social justice the topics that tends to divide the church, and what can we do about it? We also look at the difference between how somewhere like Zambia sees the topic of race versus America, and we touch on why disparities do not equal discrimination.
