Nobody Special 076 | Headaches and Deconstructing Faith
On this episode, we talk about the recent mass shootings, white supremacy, and how it is inconsistent with the Christian faith.
With the recent shootings, we wanted to take time to talk about racism, bigotry, and how inconsistent those ideologies are with Christianity. At the heart of Christianity, we are all created in the image of God to reflect the glory of God. If we ever do not come out as strong as people would like against white supremacism, its because we truly do not even deem those groups worthy of our attention and words. But nonetheless, white supremacy, bigotry, racism, and any form of prejudice against a person does not reflect the nature of God.
“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.” James 1:2-8 ESV
Then we talk about the recent events with Joshua Harris and deconstructing his faith. While we will not get into speculations about what happened in Joshua Harris’ life, because we just don’t know and that is between him and God. However, as he comes out saying he is no longer a Christian, we look at what it means to consider our faith and how we can endure the testing of our faith.
