Send us a textDiversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are buzzwords that dominate contemporary discourse, yet their implications and origins often remain unexplored. Join us as we host Travis Kearns, trustee at the Baptist Courier, to shed light on DEI through a biblical perspective. Challenging the conventional wisdom of DEI's Marxist roots, we explore how its focus on equal outcomes may diverge from the Christian principles of merit and opportunity. Our conversation also delves into the political landscape, reflecting on significant actions like President Trump's executive order against DEI programs, and questions how such cultural ideologies could potentially contradict biblical teachings.Turning our focus to unity in faith, we discuss the importance of spiritual gifts over external characteristics like ethnicity or social status. By referencing biblical texts such as Revelation 5-9 and Romans 12, we highlight the potential for DEI principles to inadvertently sow division rather than foster unity within the church. Drawing from Ephesians 2, we underscore the biblical ideal that in Christ, there is neither Jew nor Greek, advocating for church practices that truly reflect this unity. This episode offers a thought-provoking examination of how contemporary ideas align—or conflict—with Scripture, encouraging a robust and faith-centered approach to modern challenges.WEBSITES: baptistcourier.com courierpublishing.com INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/thebaptistcourier instagram.com/courierpublishing1821 FACEBOOK: facebook.com/thebaptistcourier facebook.com/p/Courier-Publishing X: x.com/BaptistCourier x.com/Courier1821 x.com/CourierConvos
