Religion & Spirituality
More on Black Lives Matter in this episode: unpacking BLM as a value statement vs. a political statement, how the situation has developed over the past few weeks with defund the police movements and the death of Rayshard Brooks, and the potential dangers of "woke anti-racism" as a secular religion (a la John McWhorter). Also: cancel culture, blackface, statues, and finding a way to navigate the symbolic nexus of history, freedom, motivation, love, etc. that this moment represents. We also look at two popular pieces of current media (that Matt digs) - the album RTJ4 from rap group Run the Jewels and the game The Last of Us Part 2 - and ask questions around Christians and R-rated media: should we engage? How? Why? Dangers? Benefits? (you get it :) ) Come along for Your Sunday Drive - quick conversation about current events, politics, pop culture and more, from the perspective of a couple of guys trying to follow Jesus.Hosts: Matt Hill and Nate Polzin.
