Episode 8: Social Justice and "Confronting Injustice without Compromising the Truth" with Guest Alex DiPrima
We have heard it said, “do justice”, but what is justice? In this episode Jenna and Lydia discuss Thaddeus Williams’ book, Confronting Injustice Without Compromising Truth, with special guest Dr. Alex DiPrima. We talk social justice, the mission of the church, the importance of defining terms, and how our investment in the local church is the primary avenue for just ministry and reconciliation. Alex draws from his pastoral experience, educational background, and biblical knowledge, to give helpful, and gracious insight into how we should think about issues of Social Justice, oppression, and Critical Theory.
