About this listen

Let’s be honest: The phrase "Social Justice" has become a grenade in the church.

For some, it sounds like the heart of the Gospel. For others, it sounds like a dangerous political agenda. If you say it in a church lobby, you're just as likely to start a fight as you are to start a movement.

So, why is this term so loaded? And is it possible to care about the oppressed without just copying a secular political talking point?

In this episode, Nate, Tony, and Michael refuse to play it safe. We dive into the tension to figure out if there is a "Third Way": a vision for justice that is deeper than modern activism but harder than traditional conservatism.

We discuss:

  • Why "Social Justice" triggers a "fight or flight" response in so many Christians.

  • Biblical Justice vs. Modern Activism: The difference between "Restoration" and "Power."

  • The "Third Rail": A honest look at CRT, Intersectionality, and where they clash (or align) with Scripture.

  • The Jesus Paradox: Why Jesus’ approach to justice would probably offend both political parties today.

  • System vs. Soul: Why you can't fix the world if you ignore the human heart.

If you are tired of the cable news shouting matches and want a better, biblical framework for justice, this conversation is for you.
