Debunking: Critical Race Theory. a misguided fix to a broken system

You've heard it brought up at school board meetings, you've heard political pundits talk about it, but what business is it for pastors to talk about Critical Race Theory too? While we don't know what it is like to be a minority growing up in America and we do acknowledge the system isn't perfect, Critical Race Theory is not the fix. In fact, it is incompatible with Christianity,

Topics

Danger of a pastor having the wrong mentality in a small church setting.
Addressing small church challenges (poor self image, finances and resources, and isolation)

You’re Cancelled

Dave and Will talk today about being cancelled. With cancel culture dominating our news, the question needs to be asked, "Is cancel culture a good thing?" We look at some history of cancel culture, mix in a lot of our take on the issue, and wrestle with the standards God gives in Scripture. But the conversation isn't over until we see Christ and his forigiveness for all. Forgiveness is the only "cancel culture" that changes culture!
