About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of race and DEI on the church and emphasizes finding identity in Christ.

Are "race" and DEI helping us love our neighbors—or dividing the church? In this episode of Redeeming Truth , Pastors Jon Benzinger, Virgil Walker, and Darrell Harrison examine identity, race, and culture through a biblical lens. They challenge modern assumptions about race, trace the origins of these ideas, and point back to Scripture's teaching of one human race created in the image of God. This conversation addresses how both cultural and political influences can shape our thinking—and why our identity must ultimately be found in Christ, not in tribal or ethnic categories. Stay to the end for practical resources and encouragement to remain grounded in God's Word in a divided world.
