Episode 91 - The Bible and Systemic Injustice

Everywhere you look our country is being confronted with the realities of systemic injustice. These are the places and systems that exist and that operate beneath our collective conscious but which, intentionally or unintentionally, benefit some over others.

In the wake of recent racial unrest and continued protests across the country, the Beyond Sunday team wants to ask an important question: What does the Bible have to say about systemic injustice? The Bible doesn’t have stories of police being arrested for murder or even of people being blatantly oppressed because of their race. But it turns out the Bible has plenty to say about God’s view of the systems that should rule our lives and how they should be carried out in the world.

In the episode the team references a video posted by Phil Vischer, creator of the children’s Christian video series “Veggie Tales.” We highly recommend watching the video that you can find here or at the web address below. The Holy Post site has also posted a transcript of the video along with citations for the statistics and data that are offered in the video.

This week we’re also welcoming guest co-host Elise McCarter! Elise comes to Beyond Sunday as an active member of Lord of Life, author, mother, and fan of the podcast. Be sure to welcome Elise on our Facebook page!
