    Thank you Owen. What a breath of fresh air. It is so painful to see it in reformed churches.. It surely is dividing the church as many are leaving their churches of so many years. I am in Christ and that is my identity not my femaleness or my black skin.

      No sir it is not deceptive...it is called the return of the HEBREW ISRAELITES to their native land. Genesis 15:13 and OT prophets spoke about the HEBREWS, not the church as evangelicals spin their narrative. This movement is not these ppl, but TMHY moving them fm slavery, oppression, and poverty by the slave masters. The HEBREWS were kidnapped, raped, murdered, lynched and all the atrocities the white slave owners thought they would get away with. But YAH never slumber nor sleep. Vengeance is mine says TMH.

      I read it about 25 yearsc ago and it is good but more precisely is focused on the incompatibility of philosophical naturalism with Biblical Christianity, which became an acute problem at Princeton in the early twentieth century( and of course filtered into many "mainline" churches( so-called) and yet ultimate4ly resulted in the founding of Westminster theological Seminary.

This message knocked me out of my normalcy bias and gave me a glimpse of the horror stalking the truth that was given to us by God in his Word. It’s shocking.

    This is so grievous. I am exhausted by all the hate and offendedness, conflict and effort to tear and destroy the very image of God. It seems only some can truly be imagers of God, within these philosophies. This is NOT the church, according to the scripture, which says Jesus “himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility.” Ephesians 2:14. This is the ideal.

    Thank you for this!! I've spent most of my evening listening to this (had to keep stopping and rewinding for proper note-taking and Bible verse hunting) in preparation to confront my pastors about this issue tomorrow morning. Part I, alone, has given me so much Biblical material to come to them with. Since I've been looking at the SJ movement for about 2 years, and CRT/I closer to 1, it was super helpful. I have an open playlist on my channel dedicated to CRT, and there's many discussions there. Feel free to pop over and see if anything helps you. God Bless ❤🤗

    Thank you for this. This hideous ideology has taken hold everywhere. It didn't surprise me much when it took over the culture. But I have been left stunned to see that it's now taken hold in churches - not just "churches in name only" or Leftist "churches", but what were generally bible teaching/preaching ones. My own church is now going down this path and I am terrified. I don't know what to do. I'm just a regular churchgoer. I don't know if all leadership is on this bandwagon or just a few, or who among my friends agree or disagree. It's horrifying.

    I am a white Messianic Christian man, 66 years of age & I have since my teen years noticed that we white Americans have been & are being viciously attacked by the left. BTW a man named Arthur Custance did a research back in the thirties on the 3 sons of Noah & the roles they played in human history. In 1969-70, he tried to publish his work but some publishers saw his book as racist but in due time he published his book. At the time of Babel the black decendants of Ham were the most numerous & the white Japeth/Yapeth folk were the minority & Nimrod was a black man & was ruling over 300000 of the total human population. This was one time in human history that the world was ruled by a black man & it ended up being a disaster to really tell the truth here!!!! Nimrod had some 'evil intentions' & Yaweh/G-d came down to thwart his evil plans of basically exterminating the decendants of Shem & Japeth & various folk of the decendants of Ham as well!!!! The human gene-pool was going to be reduced & we would have had by now 4-5000 years of 'world black history'!!!!! Satan/Hasatan in Hebrew wanted to reduce the human gene-pool back then!!!!!!

      Wanda, you do realize that the black Israelite movement is nothing more than a cult founded upon liberal revisionist history? The Bible clearly explains, not only where the Garden of Eden was located, but also where the origins of mankind began. Like it or not, it was not so much Africa but, rather, the fertile crescent of the Middle East which, during the last ice age, was once a lush tropical jungle that stretched from Egypt to India, which is responsible for the many oil reserves found beneath the sand throughout the entire region. It is highly unlikely that Africans (black people) or Europeans (white people), as we know them today, did not exist during that era.
      In fact, the Bible also teaches that Christ will establish his earthly, "millennial" kingdom in the exact same region upon his physical return to earth.

I did my best to Listen but I thought your talk came off a bit too "academic"( I don't mean "high-level content" by that but a bit too sterile and dispassionate and lacking personal illustrations of a Biblical model for life; = love , joy peace and unity realized in the midst of diversity for the modern world). Further I wasn't "convinced by your definition of "wokeness" or CRT, perhaps because of a lack of credible sources cited.

    I think I fall under the third category in Owen's mind (49:25). I haven't done a "deep dive" in CRT literature. Perhaps I'm merely being guided by the crowds and unwittingly being led to theological, pastoral, and Christian compromise. I don't think that is the case and I think David French represents a more discerning perspective on both CRT/I and the need to see and disciple against the cultural pattern of ethnocentric oppression on African Americans today.
    (on 58:35) - I believe there are sin issues in the church on this that need intentional discipling and maybe eventually church discipline (in a few years as the issue is further clarified, perhaps). I just think the sinful traps are different: (1) inevitable and unintentional functional indifference toward ethnocentric oppressed people failing to love neighbor as self on the one side and (2) leaving the centrality of the gospel and a functional confession of robust Christian faith and mission amidst huge societal problems and confusion on the other hand.
