How should Christians think about race and justice five years after George Floyd? In this episode of Thinking Christian, Dr. James Spencer welcomes back Ed Uszynski, author of Untangling Critical Race Theory, to explore the nuanced realities of race, politics, and faith. They discuss the pendulum swings of political ideologies, the role of the church in fostering biblical justice, and how Christians can engage these conversations with wisdom and discernment. Plus, Ed previews his talk at the Exiles in Babylon conference and reflects on his 30+ years with Athletes in Action.

🔹 How can Christians avoid being swept into political rhetoric?
🔹 What does true justice look like from a biblical perspective?
🔹 Why should we transcend the culture’s binaries on race and inclusion?

This is a must-listen for those wanting to think biblically and critically about the complex issues of race and justice in today's world.
