Resuming our series on Critical Social Justice (CSJ), Pastor Steve Jeffery talks about applying Christian principles to Pincourt and Lindsay’s Counter Wokecraft.

• No “races” in the Bible; there are nations
• Distinctions in the Bible have nothing to do with our concept of “race”
• The color of skin should not be a defining characteristic of people!
• The doctrine of colorblindness (Martin Luther King)
• Discrimination on the basis of skin tone in Exodus: (a bad thing)
• Differences between people that do matter, like sex
• The Woke and the Woke-Proximate
• Don’t treat people who talk about diversity, equity, and inclusion as if they were fully woke!
