54 - Christian Centrism, Power, and Justice with Adam Joyce
Can Christian centrism truly address the complexities of wealth, power, and racial injustice, or does it fall short of delivering meaningful change? Our latest episode welcomes Adam Joyce, a Chicago-based nonprofit consultant, who challenges the notion that centrist approaches can adequately tackle these pressing issues.
We lament the recent article critiquing the positive examples of fatherhood and gender roles surrounding the cartoon "Bluey." And we confront the tendency to misrepresent political opponents while excusing allies with the recent "Jesus is Lord" protestors at a Kamala rally.
Our conversation moves beyond mere rhetoric, urging listeners to focus on policies that impact the marginalized and oppressed. Lastly, we explore Christian socialism, and question how faith can drive real-world change and not just personal growth. Take a listen and let us know where you agree and where you don't!
