    Back-to-School Alert: How SEL and Mental Health Screenings Impact Your Kids | 8/16/25 | ATT #215
    Aug 16 2025
    Schools are changing fast—far beyond reading, writing, and arithmetic. Dive into a thought-provoking discussion on the challenges parents face in navigating today’s public school system, including the impact of Social Emotional Learning (SEL), the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model, and controversial policies like California’s AB495 and Illinois’ mandatory mental health screenings for grades 3-12 starting in the 2027-28 school year. As Christian parents, we’re called to steward our children’s hearts and minds (Deut. 6:6–9; Prov. 1:8; Eph. 6:4). Learn how these initiatives, often tied to equity, critical theory, and data collection, may affect your child’s education and worldview, and explore practical ways to stay informed and protect parental rights. Our aim isn’t panic—it’s clarity, so you can make wise, prayerful decisions for your family.

  • Doug Wilson's Vision of Christian Nationalism Explained

    Doug Wilson's Vision of Christian Nationalism Explained
    Aug 12 2025
    I react to a recent segment on CNN presenting Doug Wilson's brand of Christian nationalism. Wilson is the founding pastor of Christ Church in Moscow, ID. His controversial views on gender roles, family dynamics, and societal structures are worth being aware of as his influence in some evangelical continues to grow.

A Proposed Taxonomy of Seven Views on Religion and Government": https://christoverall.com/article/longform/what-is-the-spectrum-of-major-views-on-political-theology-a-proposed-taxonomy-of-seven-views-on-religion-and-government/ Twelve Reflections on Christian Nationalism (podcasts): https://christoverall.com/article/longform/twelve-reflections-on-david-schrocks-twelve-interviews-on-christian-nationalism/ Watch my previous discussion about my personal journey about Christian nationalism: https://youtube.com/live/37CyE2jVZks Read Wilson's post-interview reflections: https://dougwils.com/books-and-culture/s7-engaging-the-culture/that-cnn-report-viewing-the-game-film.html #ChristianNationalism #DouglasWilson #Reaction #Theology #Politics #Religion #Debate #Opinion #SocialIssues #FaithAndPolitics #ChurchAndState #ConservativeChristianity #ProgressiveChristianity #ReligionAndPolitics #ChristianLiving #BiblicalWorldview #ChristChurchMoscow #MereChristendom #TrendingNow #HotTake

    The word ethics is an academic word, but we want to go beyond textbooks and ivory towers and give you a practical guide to understanding what ethics really means. Krista talked to our friend, Dr. Joe Miller and got his help to unpack big questions like what makes something right or wrong and how our everyday choices shape a more ethical society. From small personal decisions to big cultural debates, you’ll learn how to recognize ethical grey areas, apply timeless principles, and stand firm in a world where right and wrong often get blurred. 📌 Connect with Dr. Miller: 👉 https://jrmiller777.substack.com/ 📌 Textbooks on Ethics: 👉 Joe's pick: https://www.amazon.com/Christian-Ethics-Living-Pleasing-Revised/dp/1433590840 👉 Krista's pick: https://www.amazon.com/Moral-Choices-Introduction-Scott-Rae/dp/0310536421 📌 Register for the church leadership webinar with Kevin Briggins: 👉 https://centerforbiblicalunity.breezechms.com/form/pastorwebinar 📌 Register for Monique's fall class for teens: 👉 https://center-for-biblical-unity.myshopify.com/products/scripture-and-society-virtual-class-for-teens-fall-2025

    Are Doubts Destroying Your Belief in God? Here is what to do. || 7/19/25 || #213
    Jul 19 2025
    We sit down with Hillary Ferrer (founder, Mama Bear Apologetics) to explore how honest questions can strengthen, rather than destroy, our faith. In this episode, we unpack the difference between doubt and deconstruction and why definitions matter for a healthy spiritual life. Monique and Hillary look at biblical examples of faithful doubters and learn practical ways to move from uncertainty to deeper trust. If you’re standing in the dark, unsure what you believe, this conversation will remind you that God welcomes your questions and your wrestling heart.

  • How Feminist Standpoint Theory is Changing the Way We Read the Bible

    How Feminist Standpoint Theory is Changing the Way We Read the Bible
    Jul 14 2025
    Many of you have so kindly prayed for me during my dissertation journey. Now that I have officially graduated, I wanted to share with you more details about my research and why I think feminist standpoint theory is reshaping biblical interpretation. Monique interviewed me about my unique research journey on socially located biblical interpretation and how intersectionality and cultural lenses are transforming evangelical preaching and theology. You'll also get to eavesdrop on the short presentation that I gave at my defense summarizing my research. #FeministStandpointTheory #BiblicalInterpretation #EvangelicalTheology #SociallyLocatedTheology

    Talking to Your Kids About God's Design || 7/5/2025 || #212
    Jul 5 2025
    In a culture that’s increasingly vocal (and confusing) about identity, gender, and sexuality, how can Christian parents, grandparents, ministry leaders, and those in close proximity to children guide them with biblical clarity and confidence? In this episode, we’re joined by Elizabeth Urbanowicz, educator, author, and founder of Foundation Worldview, to talk about her upcoming book, Helping Your Kids Know God's Good Design: 40 Questions and Answers on Sexuality and Gender. We’ll explore how to begin age-appropriate conversations with children about God's beautiful design for sex, identity, and relationships.

  • Orange Curriculum Update: Can New Owners Fix Its Theological Flaws?

    Orange Curriculum Update: Can New Owners Fix Its Theological Flaws?
    Jun 30 2025
    I share the latest developments at the Orange Sunday school curriculum in this in-depth update. Explore the recent leadership transitions, including the resignation of co-founder Reggie Joiner and CEO Kristen Ivy, and the acquisition by the Amazing Life Foundation. This video critically examines Orange’s nine theological insights, highlighting concerns about vague theology, secular humanism, and lack of transparency in their content and team. Is the new ownership poised to address these issues and bring more biblical depth to a curriculum reaching a million youth weekly? I analyze Orange’s direction, offer insights for KidMin leaders, and share my vision for how to reform the curriculum so that's rooted in robust Christian theology. Share this video with your church community and subscribe for more theological commentary on social issues!
