Our identity is as children of God in Christ. Period. Everything else is just a distraction or division tactic of the enemy.

[clintmyrick]

The called of God must realize that the core issue is "Sin Matters". Our conversation must center on the glorious good news that Christ's sacrifice will cloth those who believe in him with a robe of righteousness to cover our filthy rags. There is a distraction at every turn, in every conversation, that we must flee from as we always bring the conversation back to the core.

Hi Alisa, I am a new fan of your podcast and listen to your episodes consistently. Thank you for all you do, in sharing biblical wisdom and helpful approaches to the current world views. I can’t wait for your next episode. I check for it everyday! ☺️

Reading other books other than the Bible to understand today’s culture will not help anyone if you don’t have a personal relationship with Christ. Always let the Bible be the main voice to understand oppression, when reading other books.
2 Corinthians 4:3-4

God bless everyone spreading truth thru love! ❤🙏🕊

We can make sense of it by knowing the world is evil and will do anything to separate us and keep our focus off of God. Don't accept the new phrases and hate that is trying to divide us from God.

Well now I have another book to read. Thank God there are actually people in ministry talking about this, I was starting to feel like the only one.

This is an answered prayer. I was wondering whether any one of the Christian Youtubers I follow would create anything on this issue that's cropping up.

Jesus says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me”.
All questions regarding gender or marriage are clarified by the words of Jesus. Every parent should be teaching their children the words of the Messiah, as the firm foundation of truth.
“Jesus answered, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female, ’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So, they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.” Matthew 19:4-6

I did not discover the discomfort of white privilege from a liberal feminist. It was my painful experience!

[ForeverSongMinistries]

A lot of respect for his informed approach. I look forward to reading this book.

[TheTimplatte]

Not gonna lie, hearing that my perspective on things would be summarily dismissed if it happens to resemble what someone said 50 years ago REALLY rubs me the wrong way and speaks to why so many PoC feel like they don’t truly have a voice ESPECIALLY in the church.

[paufemza.]

The lady from God is grey YouTube channel said she has reached out to Alisa for a conversation. I think that would be an interesting conversation.
God bless!

Did he just give white feminism full credit for anti-racism work? 🤦 While I'm aware there are critiques of the social justice movement we shouldn't discount the experience of others so easily.

[TritonsGuard]

What the progressives are doing may be terrible and un-Biblical, but the strategist in me has to give them credit.

They are using forceful redefinition of specific words, our natural sympathy towards the less fortunate, our lack of sympathy towards the fortunate, denial or silence of positive contributions of their chosen villains, and than directing it differently towards three general groups where they are most effective. Sympathy towards those who won't give the benefit of the doubt an unwilling to be empathetic, condemnation towards those who are willing to give the benefit of the doubt and are willing to be empathetic, and those that disagree with them they attack using the very things they claim to be against while cloaking it by redefining these actions as completely outside of these terms.

They create a strong feeling of them having no power while they wield untold amounts of it, victim-hood while being the perpetrator, and heroic while behaving as the villain.

Their method, though I don't like to admit it, is tactically brilliant.

[Crym]

Until the church addresses the blatant racism of this "anti-racist" movement, we will never make any progress on being one in Christ.

An ideology that would use "whiteness" as a negative term is just as wicked as one that would use "blackness" that way.

This is one of the loftiest opinions that raises itself against the knowledge of God in our day, and it needs a good destroying.

2 Corinthians 10:5

[benjaminofperrin]

The problem is that tolerance is king in this society and people really really do not know and understand the wisdom in the bible. So many times in the bible it tells us to flee from these things and to rebuke those that bring incorrect doctrine into the church however to do so you need to have an understanding of what needs to be pursued and what ought to be ignored. Church can't just be good music, flashy lights and a feel good sermon. We need more integrity, more wisdom and more people willing to walk the narrow road.

[lionoffireministries]

I feel like I just “woke” up to a new world 🌎 🙃

[manfrummt]

Neither 'white' nor 'black' is a race, but it is a culture, not even necessarily applicable to any race. Not all light skinned people have the same culture, nor do dark skinned people. Not even all north Europeans have the same culture, nor do all south Africans. But in America 'white' means the wealthy and powerful, while 'black' means poverty and even criminal. This is why people get offended. They don't want to be judged for other people's actions. I have experienced great hatred and violence and even system racism toward me for being white. I have black friends and family and NONE of them have experienced the same level of hatred, violence, or systemic racism. So when I hear these stereotypes thrown around, I know they are not true in my case. Regardless, the great equalizer in all of this is Jesus. Because being offended is just pride. If we follow in Jesus' example, we cannot be easily offended and hopefully, we can do as the Word instructed and accept our trials gladly and even pray for those who hate us. That being said, the more you do this, the more likely they are to kill you and destroy everything about you. This is fact. I have seen this. So, if you live with love, you will have great peace and understanding and experience the best life has to offer, but you are very likely to be snuffed out by the enemy (only to be risen again in that great day).

honestly white fragility looks eerily similar to christian sanctification. Constant self-evaluation and repentance of sin. If I have to decide between one or the other I choose Christianity every time.
