#235 – RACIAL STRIFE PROPAGATED IN THE CHURCH: Join us for this very important new episode of Apologia Radio in which we engage with some of the recent comments by Thabiti Anyabwile in his recent post with the Gospel Coalition. It was titled, “We Await Repentance for Assassinating Dr. King”. We talk a bit about the popular new fad with many in the Evangelical church of creating a new version of “class warfare”. Only, in this case, it is an amplification of “racial” distinctions within the Christian community. The stuff is deadly and it is tearing us apart. We talk about it and make a plea for a biblical approach to the world and color. We are also joined by our good friend from CrossPolitic, Gabriel Rench. He updates us about their recent town-hall with some of the candidates for Lt. Governor in Idaho. The event caused a bit of a stir with the national media: Fox News, AP, and more. One of the candidates answered in the affirmative: should women who have abortions be punished by the cr by Apologia Radio

Why is America Obsessed with Outsiders?: America loves outsiders. See: Donald Trump, Barack Obama, AOC. But why? In this third installment of our series on celebrity culture, Keith and Patrick discuss how outsiderism developed in the US and how it's now infiltrating the church. They consider how access to information has led to a loss of institutional credibility, fostering an anti-institutional era and paving the way for outsiders to thrive.

Strange Fruit #109: Bisexual Visibility in a Non-Binary World: Earlier this year, Kate Brown made history by becoming the first openly bisexual governor ever to serve in the U.S. The Oregon governor was also the country’s first bisexual statewide officeholder. But just as Obama's election doesn't mean we're post racial, Governor Brown's election doesn't mean bisexual people are welcomed with open arms. Even in queer spaces - some would say especially in queer spaces - our bisexual brothers and sisters still face discrimination and stereotyping, or simple erasure. That's our focus this week. Our guests are Perry Green, a political operative and activist, and Imani Uzuri, a composer and musician - both bi people of color. Both say they've been excluded from queer spaces, been presumed to change orientation to gay or straight when in a long-term relationship, been presumed to be promiscuous, and more.
