Many modern Christians are finding themselves and their churches fighting more diligently for social justice than they are for the Gospel. While benevolent acts are characteristic of a person who has experienced the love of God through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, is social justice really the mission (or even part of the mission) of the Church? Dale Partridge answers this question and more in this episode of Real Christianity.

Today we're discussing some of Joe Biden's recent executive orders, as well as the broader topic of "equity." What do Democrats mean when they say they want equal outcomes for all? It means they want the government to make it happen no matter what. One of Biden's orders aims to alleviate the racial disparity in the housing market by reinstating the "Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing" rule. Thomas Sowell had strong words about the consequences of this Obama-era program. Biden is also reversing Trump's ban on critical race theory training for federal employees, which has been shown to actually increase implicit bias in participants.
