We know it addresses our personal lives, our personal holiness, our families, our churches. But does our faith inform our work? Our enjoyment of art? Of fashion? Of architecture?

Reintegrated Whole-Life Discipleship

Last updated on: November 29, 2021 at 10:43 pm   By Bob Robinson

As I teach discipleship, I want to create visual tools to help people grasp the various dimensions of being a disciple of Jesus Christ. This is what I’m using this year: The word ‘disciple’ means ‘learner’ or ‘pupil.’ But here’s the key: A learner or pupil of Jesus, not some human, not some preacher, not some professor, not some author, not some celebrity, not some mystic guru. We are called to be apprenticed by Jesus. And we are called to... Read more

CRT Part 2: What is Critical Race Theory?

Last updated on: June 9, 2021 at 6:11 pm   By Bob Robinson

It must be first stated that CRT is not a fully unified school of thought. It started in the late 1970s as legal scholars like Derrick Bell, Kimberlé Crenshaw, and Richard Delgado were trying to understand how American law perpetuated and exasperated racialization in the United States. They argued that racism and white supremacy were foundational elements of the American legal system despite the language of the Constitution claiming “equal protection.” It wasn’t until the late 1980s that Kimberlé Crenshaw... Read more

CRT Part 1: Is it Just Another Chapter in the Battle for a More Holistic Gospel?

Last updated on: June 9, 2021 at 10:44 am   By Bob Robinson

There has been a battle in evangelicalism that’s been going on for over seventy years! There are those who believe that the Gospel is strictly about how the cross of Christ provides the gift of salvation for individuals. And there are those who believe that the Gospel is much more holistic, dealing with both personal salvation and cosmic redemption from systemic evil. Back in 1974, The First International Congress on World Evangelization was convened in Lausanne, Switzerland, led by Billy Graham... Read more
