Podcast appearances and mentions of monique duson

In this episode, I'm joined by Monique Duson and Krista Bontrager from the Center for Biblical Unity. We dive into what true racial reconciliation looks like from a biblical worldview—and why the church must reject secular ideologies like Critical Race Theory in favor of gospel-centered truth. Monique and Krista share how their friendship began and how it laid the foundation for their ministry partnership. Monique unpacks her journey out of the framework of social justice ideology, while Krista brings clarity to the theological dangers of redefining justice, oppression, and reconciliation through a cultural lens. Together, we explore why sound doctrine is essential for discerning truth from error—and how unity in the body of Christ must be grounded in Scripture, not shaped by the shifting winds of culture. If you've ever wrestled with how to think biblically about race, justice, or unity in the church, this conversation will equip and challenge you in all the right ways.

Today we have Krista Bontrager and Monique Duson from The Center for Biblical Unity join the show to talk about their book, Walking in Unity. Cooper Stuff had the privilege of reading the book and giving it an endorsement last year. The topic of race has become such a flashpoint over the last handful of years, and there is still much to talk about and much to learn.

Q&A Panel - Conquering the Challenges of Culture Lenny Esposito is joined on stage by J. Warner Wallace, Dr. Hugh Ross, Joe Dallas, Becket Cook, and Monique Duson for a fascinating Q&session recorded at a recent Dare to Defend Conference. Here, they tackle issues such as whether a Christian should attend a loved one's gay wedding, how to approach the CRT issue, how the universe's beginning matches the biblical account, and so much more! It's a stimulating 90-minute conversation that will leave you wanting even more!

SEND US A MESSAGE! We'd Love to Chat With you and Hear your thoughts! We'll read them on the next episode. This is an earlier conversation with Monique Duson and Kevin Briggins of the Center for Biblical Unity and Offcode Podcast. We discuss a relatively recent article in Christianity Today written by Justin Giboney of the AndCampaign. It seems that there is some revising going on when we reflect on the last 10 years and the social justice movement that swept across churches in the United States. The Black Lives Matter movement and critical theory have both been proven toxic. We discuss exactly how we can know that. Link to Woke Preacher ArticleIn the second half of the show, the trio react to Eric Mason's recent statements about the presence of the prosperity Gospel in the black church.LINK TO THE THREADSupport the showPlease Rate & Comment!Hosts: Brandon and Daren SmithWebsite: www.blackandblurred.comPatreon: www.patreon.com/blackandblurredPaypal: https://paypal.me/blackandblurredYouTube: Black and Blurred PodcastIG: @BlackandBlurredPodcastX: @Blurred_Podcast

What does it look like to be biblical and counter-cultural when it comes to walking in unity today? Conversations around race, tolerance, social justice, racial reconciliation, and critical theory can be challenging and confusing, but what does a biblical approach look like?

Today I'm talking with my good friends from the Center for Biblical Unity, Monique Duson and Krista Bontrager, about their new book, Walking in Unity: Biblical Answers to Questions on Race and Racism. Ever since 2020, there have been all kinds of discussions about race in the church, and unfortunately a lot of those discussions have included some very unbiblical ways of thinking. I'm so grateful that Krista and Monique have written this excellent and accessible book that counteracts culture's problematic ideas. In this conversation, we cover all kinds of topics, like:What is the difference between anti-racism, racial reconciliation, and biblical unity?Should the church see disparities between races as evidence of racism?Why haven't churches been better at biblical discernment with respect to identifying unbiblical ideas about race and racism?How much should the church be addressing racial justice? Is it mostly a “progressive” issue?Is a “colorblind” approach the best solution? Should all churches be multiethnic?And much more.Get the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Walking-Unity-Biblical-Answers-Questions/dp/0736990895Learn more about the Center for Biblical Unity here: https://www.centerforbiblicalunity.com/

Few issues are more volatile and emotionally charged than conversations surrounding racism, social justice, and critical social theories. What does it look like to faithfully follow Jesus, who calls Christians to be unified in allegiance to God in this day and age? Monique Duson and Krista Bontrager, co-founders of The Center for Biblical Unity, suggest some constructive and God-honoring ways forward. Monique and Krista aim to lead respectful and biblically centered conversations on race, unity, and justice. Starting with Scripture, properly defining terms, and focusing on unity are values they embrace and discuss with Dr. Jeff.

Racial reconciliation is a significant topic in our current cultural moment. The key question is: Is the approach taken by the world effective? We argue that it is not and that the Scriptures and the Gospel of Christ offer a better solution. This was the focus of our recent interview with Monique Duson. Monique helps us better understand how intersectionality and Critical Race Theory (CRT) influence today's perspectives on human sexuality. Additionally, we discussed her new book titled "Walking in Unity.""Walking in Unity" aims to provide Christ-centered solutions to the issues surrounding race and racism. Authors Monique Duson and Krista Bontrager address the distinctions between secular approaches to achieving consensus and the biblical call for unity. They explore what Scripture teaches about racial harmony and emphasize how Christians can find a shared identity through faith in Christ.Monique Duson is the President of the Center for Biblical Unity.

Family Meeting 12/7/23 by Monique Duson

What does the Bible teach us about race, ethnicity, unity, and justice? When Krista Bontrager (a conservative wife, homeschool mom, and Biola graduate) formed a close relationship with Monique Duson (a self-proclaimed former social justice warrior, international missionary, and Biola graduate), both women discovered that even in their shared love for Jesus, their views on these social issues couldn't have been more diametrically opposed. With a topic as (potentially) divisive, triggering, and racially charged as social justice, how exactly did Krista and Monique manage to develop a close friendship and redirect their prior experiences and individual perspectives to form a ministry dedicated to answering these questions from a biblical worldview? In this midweek podcast episode, CrossExamined's Staff Writer, Phoenix Hayes, sits down with Monique and Krista, founders of the Center for Biblical Unity, to discuss the inspiration behind their upcoming book 'Walking in Unity: Biblical Answers to Questions on Race and Racism.' As they share the origin story of their friendship, you'll see how walking and talking about their conflicting ideas strengthened their budding friendship and led them to a greater understanding of Critical Theory, including how it fundamentally clashes with the Gospel message. Listen as Phoenix, Monique, and Krista answer questions like: How did Krista and Monique's upbringing impact their view of American history and the person of Jesus? Should all churches place an emphasis on ethnic diversity? How does their approach in the book tackle the issue of CRT in a unique way? What are some common forms of critical theory and what is the collective goal of each one? How is CRT shaping conversations surrounding the Israel/Hamas conflict?   Krista and Monique's journey is proof that the Gospel still has the power to unite people from all walks of life, regardless of differences in age, ethnicity, and cultural backgrounds. This is a light-hearted conversation that will make you laugh, but also gives valuable insight into how to have tough conversations fruitfully. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for more details on when 'Walking in Unity' will be available again for pre-order. Due to a minor setback, the original release date has been delayed and the new date is TBD. You can also support Krista and Monique through their work at the Center for Biblical Unity. To view the entire VIDEO PODCAST be sure to join our CrossExamined private community.

Many of these ideas are then taken back into seminaries, ministries, and local churches. In this special edition of the Theology Mom podcast, Krista is joined by Monique Duson to share their thoughts about some of the papers they heard last week at ETS and how they think these ideas will potentially influence your Christian circles.

Krista is joined by Monique Duson and Kevin Briggins for this special edition of the Theology Mom podcast.

Our guest today is Brent Pinkall, author of the fabulous new book, Redeeming the Six Arts: A Christian Approach to Chinese Classical Education, which the Sisters cannot recommend enough. Brent Pinkall is a Lecturer of Rhetoric at New Saint Andrews College. Before joining the NSA faculty, Pinkall taught rhetoric at a classical Christian college in China for more than five years. He has also taught at various public universities in China, including Lanzhou University, Lanzhou Jiaotong University, and Central China Normal University. In addition to rhetoric, Pinkall has taught college-level courses in logic, epistemology, history of classical education, classical pedagogy, astronomy, English, and English literature. He has ministered in China for more than twelve years, with a focus on promoting classical Christian education there. *** Are you ready for this year's spring training? It's going to be amazing!! We're calling it Dead White Guys because the latest attack on classical education seems to be the claim that classical education should be discarded because much of the source material was written by white men. Scholé Sisters has hired Monique Duson and Krista Bontrager from The Center for Biblical Unity to fit all of us for conversing on these issues. Session 1 is all about Critical Theory and Session 2 is basically a defense of classical education against the attacks of Critical Theory proponents. Each session ends with a live Q&A! It's going to be so great! Go to https://www.scholesisters.info/crt/ to register! *** Click here to access today's show notes. Click here to join the Sistership.

Insight on recent campus revivals, plus the gospel in light of CRT and racial unity, and when your spouse seems spiritually stunted.Featured musical artist:  Jeremy Rosado Roundtable: Understanding Mass RevivalsEarlier this year, we saw spiritual revivals happen at college campuses around the country. There was both excitement and skepticism around these much-publicized events, leaving many asking about the nature of revival as well as its spiritual impact and implications. Two pastors join us this week to explain the biblical interpretation of revival as well as what true revival looks like, plus lessons learned from various revivals throughout history.8 Simple Ways to Boost Your Faith This Year    Culture: The Gospel and Racial UnityFor years, Monique Duson was an advocate of critical race theory (CRT); as a black woman from south central Los Angeles, it seemed like the natural fit. But when she was challenged to look at CRT through the lens of the gospel, Monique changed her tune. While she agrees that CRT raises some necessary questions, she feels most of the assumptions and conclusions presented by CRT run far afield from truth. Monique challenges Christians to approach racial unity from a posture of biblical grace, recognizing what is already ours in Christ. Listen in for a fascinating discussion from a leading thinker in this space. Featured Article: Beyond Racial Division: A Conversation With Sociologist George Yancey    Featured Website: Center for Biblical Unity  Featured Resource: Boundless Guides to Marrying Well Featured Video: Monique Duson's Lighthouse Voices Event Inbox: When You Question Your Spouse's Christian WalkWhat can a believer do when his or her spouse professes Christ, but isn't evidencing the Fruit of the Spirit in their life?

Today, Mystie, Brandy, and Abby attempt to straighten out one of the biggest misunderstandings in the Charlotte Mason world: masterly inactivity. The term is constantly misused, so they start off with definitions. But keep listening because they'll go into detail on how exactly this concept can be applied to real life.

On this week's episode of TheFallenState TV, host Jesse Lee Peterson is joined by Monique Duson—She is the Founder and President of the Center for Biblical Unity. Monique joins Jesse to discuss all things Fallen—She actually used to be an SJW! They touch on salvation, race, anger, forgiveness, mess, and much more!

The topic of race has escalated in the last few years and seems to have permeated every aspect of our society. Race and racial reconciliation is a topic some like to discuss and a topic some would like to ignore—but we in the church cannot ignore it. We need to ask how should we as the church be talking about racism and racial reconciliation? I've brought in Monique Duson, co-founder of the Biblical Center for Unity, who has spent the last few years addressing the dangers of CRT and helping Christians discuss these issues with a biblical worldview. She's joining me to help us to know what conversations we should be having, what red flags to watch for in the church, and what's at the heart of this issue. Through The Elephant in the Room series, we've been looking at topics many churches are missing. While many churches are having the conversation about race and racial reconciliation, they are looking to the world for answers and not to Scripture. I hope this conversation with Monique encourages you to not be afraid to have difficult conversations and to look to the Bible as the source for truth.For more resources and additional episodes visit cissiegrahamlynch.com. WEBSITES:Billy Graham Evangelistic Association – https://billygraham.org/Billy Graham Radio – https://billygrahamradio.orgSamaritan's Purse – https://samaritanspurse.org/SOCIAL MEDIA:Connect with me on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.Billy Graham Evangelistic Association Facebook —https://www.facebook.com/BillyGrahamEvangelisticAssociation  Billy Graham Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/ReverendBillyGrahamBilly Graham Radio Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/billygrahamradio
