Reflecting our interview with Tim Challies, we discuss our episode highlights, review audience feedback, and address questions and comments on Psalm singing, porn culture, church culture, Social Justice, and how to train kids to use social media and the internet responsibly.
If you're looking for a Christian resource to learn more about Social Justice and Critical Theory, we recommend checking out Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey. She has many episodes with a number of different, well informed guests who discuss this matter in great detail from a Reformed, Biblical perspective.
