From Division to Unity: Reframing Race Through Scripture: Monique Duson

About this episode

Monique Duson discusses her shift from advocating for Critical Race Theory to promoting a biblical approach to race and unity.

After two decades advocating for Critical Race Theory, Monique Duson experienced a dramatic shift in perspective. Now co-founder and President of the Center for Biblical Unity, she's challenging Christians to rethink how we approach race, justice, and reconciliation through a scriptural lens. In this conversation with Bill Reichart, Monique shares the pivotal moments that transformed her worldview and led her to establish the Center for Biblical Unity alongside Krista Bontrager. She discusses what biblical unity actually looks like in practice—not as a destination to be achieved, but as our starting point in Christ. Discover why defining terms like humanity, race, love, and justice through Scripture rather than culture is essential for the Church. Monique reveals what the gospel uniquely offers for racial reconciliation that secular approaches cannot.
