This week we will be studying Revelation 7:9-14 under the theme “Christianity Is Necessarily Diverse.” As we close out our series on Urban Apologetics, we will look back at the doctrines we've covered, their implications, and applications for individuals and our church. We will also look ahead to the gathering of saints for worship in heaven, noticing how, by God's design, they've come from every nation, tribe, people, and language. This series is loosely structured on a book by Dr. Eric Mason. "Apologetics" is the study of the reasonable defense of the Christian faith; being prepared to give the world a reason for the hope that we have. While the world takes offense at the Gospel, those in urban settings face unique challenges that are particular to a diverse context. This series will help members find greater confidence in speaking about distinct issues that our local church faces.

On Night #3 of the Urban Apologetics Online Conference, Pastor Damon Richardson did an incredible job proving to us that Christianity is NOT the religion of the White Man's or any other ethnic group. The gospel is for all people. Pastor Damon demonstrated this by showing us biblical scriptures regarding all nations being a part of God's plan. Then he proceeded to discuss the Christian presence in North Africa which spread to West Africa even before the slave trade began. Finally, we looked at several key African figures and their contribution to Christianity and even read the slave narratives showing how they understood the distinction between the God of the Bible and the God of the slave master.

It's a busy week here at CrossExamined! In this midweek podcast episode, Frank reports on the biggest campus event in the history of our ministry and several opportunities for you to get involved in apologetics wherever you are. Then, Phoenix Hayes and Tytus Jones show how we can effectively engage urban communities with the Gospel. Tytus is a CrossExamined team member and Christian YouTuber who specializes in the unique field of urban apologetics and why it's needed in the Church today. Having personally encountered friends and loved ones who began to identify as "Hebrew Israelites", Tytus has used these interactions as inspiration to create content that offers a biblical, apologetic response to various identity-based cult groups. During their talk, Phoenix and Tytus will answer questions like: What is Urban Apologetics and what resources are available on the topic? Who are the Hebrew Israelites and what are their core beliefs? How did debating a Hebrew Israelite affect Ty's faith journey? What attitude do Hebrew Israelites typically hold toward Jews? What is the appeal of Hebrew Israelism and what are some of the inconsistencies in their worldview? What is the Yoruba tradition and how have celebrities like Beyonce helped to popularize it? Urban apologetics often seeks to answer the popular (and false) notion that Christianity is just "the white man's religion." If you know someone who believes themselves to be a Hebrew Israelite or has now become a practitioner of African spirituality, this is the episode for you!

Urban apologetics is doing the work of sharing the gospel by giving an answer and a defense of Christianity to black people in light of the intellectual, emotional, and ethnic identity concerns of minority communities. It is giving black people a reason for the hope of the gospel amidst the cultural, historical, spiritual, and theological barriers black people have to the Christian faith. And at the core of urban apologetics is a restoration of the imago dei (image of God).

"Persons who are pursuing answers to life's most imponderable questions, who are sorting out alternate lifestyles and competing paths to fulfillment, who are yearning for fellowship and conciliation with God, who are seeking strength sufficient to follow Jesus, deserve to find something better than an imposter masquerading as God's servant." -Samuel DeWitt Proctor (Urban Apologetics, p. 54).

Jesus has equipped each of us with spiritual gifts and abilities to reach others with the Gospel. We are created for good works which God prepared beforehand that we may walk in them.

Our guest this week on Apologetics Profile is Christian urban apologist, YouTuber and author, Vocab Malone, whose ministry is on urban street corners. He shares valuable insights about a growing cultic movement known as Hebrew Israelism. Vocab has written a book on the subject and engages different Hebrew Israelism groups in larger urban areas with the truth of the Gospel.Vocab Malone holds a Master's from Phoenix Seminary and has engaged in post-grad work at both Talbot School of Theology and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. Vocab's ministry focus is urban contextualized apologetics. He hosts a livestream show on YouTube and across various social media platforms called The Street Apologist (https://www.youtube.com/c/VocabMalone). Vocab has participated in many public debates and dialogues with Muslims, atheists, Kemetics, the Eastern Orthodox, and especially “Hebrew Israelites”. He's the author of the book Barack Obama vs The Black Hebrew Israelites: Introduction to the History & Beliefs of 1West Hebrew Israelism (https://uhop.me/VocabMalone) and a contributing author to Our God is Triune: Essays in Biblical Theology, and a freelance contributor for a few apologetics print publications.

Radio show host, pastor, and writer Chris Brooks joins Dr. Jim Denison and Dr. Mark Turman to discuss urban ministry, discipleship and evangelism, and how the Bible defines the church. Show notes: Chris Brooks begins by giving his background and how he got into the world of pastoring and urban apologetics (6:13). They discuss the importance of evangelism and social justice—the advancement of salvation and living well in this life (10:54). They turn to talk about Marxism and Nietzsche's ideas on human nature, and how Christianity responds to their claims (24:30). They talk about church membership, church leadership, and the connection between theology and practice (31:04). Brooks considers the importance of anthropology in the Bible in particular. They finish by reflecting on how God's love for us can fight the despondency felt in our culture (47:12).

As the penultimate episode in our Apologetics series, we discuss the need for Urban Apologists in particular to address how Christianity has been whitewashed. For this conversation, we are joined by Pastor Jerome Gay, Jr., who is the founder and pastor of Vision Church in Raleigh, NC, the author of The Whitewashing of Christianity: A Hidden Past, A Hurtful Present, and A Hopeful Future, and one of the contributors to the recent volume on Urban Apologetics (published by Zondervan). As Pastor Jerome explains, whitewashing is the way that Christianity is inaccurately portrayed as being a White religion from the very beginning, including the way that prominent African figures in the early church, including figures like Athanasius and Augustine, are regularly represented as white in Christian art. This is an important issue for many reasons, esp. since it is a hurdle to extending the gospel to black communities.

As it is in any culture, there are unique belief systems that spring up in response to the distinct experiences of people within a community. Oppression and/or racism in America and in the church has led to the formation of cults and black religious groups such as Hebrew Israelites, Moorish Temple of Science, and the Nation of Islam. What is central to each of these groups is a disdain for the Christian faith and its Christocentric teachings. Eric Mason, the editor of 'Urban Apologetics: Restoring Black Dignity with the Gospel' joins Jackie and Preston to offer wisdom on how the church can equip itself to answer the questions that these growing religious groups are asking.

What is Urban Apologetics? How can we rediscover our identity as bearers of God's image? This week, Steve and the gang get deep and real with Eric Mason. The post Eric Mason – Urban Apologetics appeared first on Key Life.
Thank you for joining me again this week for episode #2.4!This week, I'm continuing the topic on history that we started last week and discussing "Urban Apologetics" by Eric Mason and "The Making of Biblical Womanhood" by Beth Allison Barr. In our modern American context, we allow silos of historical information to persist in the Church that confuses and hides the truth. As Jesus said... "The truth will set you free."

In this week's episode, we are talking about the importance of history to our ongoing conversation on cultural Christianity. Specifically, how historical facts that would have preserved or reinforced our inherent dignity as humans made in the image of God have been hidden from us. How does that affect our witness as Christians? How does it impact our effectiveness in making disciples?Follow on IG/FB @culturalchristianity Books referenced this week include: "Urban Apologetics" by Eric Mason"Emotionally Healthy Discipleship" by Peter ScazzeroRecommended documentary: "Amend" on NetflixOther Resources Mentioned:MLK NBC News videoWho was Pelagious?

“[Black] dignity has lingered in a state of confusion for generations in this country as we’ve faced constant harassment, false theologies, white supremacy, syncretistic evangelicalism, and civic oppression,” writes Dr. Eric Mason. Consequently, the task of such apologetics is to “restore Black dignity with the gospel.” In this episode of the Influence Podcast, I’m talking to Mason about the nature and necessity of urban apologetics. I’m George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host. Dr. Eric Mason is founder and lead pastor of Epiphany Fellowship in Philadelphia, as well as founder and president of Thriving, an urban resource organization committed to developing leaders for ministry in urban contexts. He is editor of Urban Apologetics: Restoring Black Dignity with the Gospel, published by Zondervan. My conversation with him is coming up after a brief word from our sponsor. ----- This episode of the Influence Podcast is brought to you by My Healthy Church, distributors of Bible Engagement Project.

Part Four: Factors That Hinder Imago Dei Part Five: The Image of LoveReaching Our Community Romans 9:1, I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, 2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. 3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh… Restoring Imago Dei in Community “And at the core of urban apologetics is a restoration of the Imago Dei . Racial injustice and inequity have created a complex need to affirm humanity while challenging human sinful pride. Scripture demands that we treat all people as bearers of God’s image.” – Eric Mason, Urban Apologetics (p. 32). Restoring Imago Dei in Community Religious and Ethnic Identity Groups confuse the image of God in people The Nation of Islam - God is a man, Allah is the latest Hebrew Israelites - Christianity is a white man’s religion Kemeticism - Egyptian religion called Kemet Black Conscious Community - Started in South Africa Black Atheism Factors Working Against Imago Dei Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) Mindsets not introduced by family and Kingdom of God Anti-Christ forces Self-loathing, Self-hatred Confused and negative people Failure to glorify God Failure to Glorify God Appreciation Adoration Affection Subjection Appreciation To glorify God is to set God highest in our thoughts, and, to have a venerable esteem of him.

What is “apologetics” and why should Christians care about this topic at all?

No episode is ever complete until we draw a mystery question from the Infinity Gauntlet and talk about the the history of rock and roll.

Recently I sat down with Damon Richardson of Urban Logia Ministries, Pastor Isaiah Robertson, and Pastor Jason Laplanche on Dacebook Live for a discussion about “The State of Urban Apologetics”. The budding “urban” apologetics community is something I care a great deal about and I’m sure the same could be said about Damon Richardson and Isaiah Robertson. I’m fortunate to call these brothers my friends and over the last several months we have all been making similar observations about what is going on in the urban apologetics community. Some of what we are seeing has been very concerning, not only for the 3 of us. Over the last several months there have been rashes of intense and at times antagonistic exchanges between urban apologists. As I’ve been keeping track of things in our social media community and reaching out to individuals involved with these skirmishes between apologists, it seems to me that the pulse of the community leans toward putting some things in place to better mediate and even prevent these sorts of internal conflicts that can potentially create fractures in the community. In this conversation with Damon Richardson and Isaiah Robertson we discuss what it is that we’re seeing and propose solutions which we hope to develop amongst the Urban Apologetics community such that resolutions achieve some degree of community wide acceptance. KEY TOPICS: 1. What is the current state of urban apologetics? 2. What steps can be taken to resolve issues within the community? 3. Proposing a statement of faith for urban apologists. 4. Proposing a standard of conduct and boundaries for public debate/dialogue amongst urban apologists.
