Is Critical Race Theory Compatible With Christianity with Dr. Neil Shenvi Episode 35

The conversation of race in American society isn't going away, as there is still much to talk about and a lot of healing left to do. Critical Race Theory seems to find itself at the center of much of that conversation. Whether you applaud restrictions on CRT or see those restrictions as masking a real issue, knowing what CRT is can be very important. Author and Speaker Neil Shevni has his Ph.D. in Chemistry but has taken up the task of helping Christians understand Critical Race Theory. He joined Bobby back in 2020 for a live discussion, answering questions such as: What is the difference between Critical Theory and Critical Race Theory?

Advice for Parents of LGBTQ+ Kids | Episode 25

Everyday multiple sets of parents are confronted with the words, “I’m gay” by their children. For some parents, that’s grounds for a celebration, for others it creates shock and confusion, and for some, it creates panic, fears, and perhaps even anger. Given the increased number of Gen Z’s identifying as LGBTQ+ the changes are all too likely that many parents feel utterly ill-equipped on what to do in the event they’re faced with how to parent a non-straight child. In this episode of CSMS we’ll discuss some practical ways to keep your family intact in the event your child comes out gay. There’s no easy way forward, but avoiding the subject is certainly not the answer.

In this episode, we will go on a journey. This is a journey of doubt, struggle, and resolution as we look at 10 of the most challenging questions that Christians face in today's culture.
