Critical race theory is a divisive topic among many Christians today. Which means we should be all the more careful in how we talk to each other about it. Last time, I said we were taking the week of Thanksgiving off from the podcast to give you more time to listen to the Providence book audiobook excerpts. And here we are, back with Pastor John, who was led to record two special episodes for us. We are releasing them Monday and Tuesday this week, today and tomorrow. The topic is critical race theory (CRT). It is a big one among evangelicals in 2020, and it comes up over and over again in the APJ inbox. About fifty emails have arrived in just the past year alone, all from listeners who basically just want to hear how Pastor John is thinking about CRT. And that is what we will do, today and tomorrow. These are longer-than-normal episodes, about 22 or 23 minutes each. Today, Pastor John addresses the relational side of the CRT debate. Tomorrow, he will address the root problem with CRT. I hope you listen to both. Here now is Pastor John with “Critical Race Theory, Part 1: The Relationships.” Read or listen to this interview at our website: https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/critical-race-theory-part-1 Find other recent and popular Ask Pastor John episodes: https://www.desiringgod.org/ask-pastor-john
