127. Should Christians Affirm Affirmative Action?

17:17 Podcast

Are you a racist if you have the wrong stance on Affirmative Action? What exactly is it anyways and how should Christians view this topic?
In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through Affirmative Action based on a recent Supreme Court case to help Christians navigate through what exactly Affirmative Action is, why it started, the ramifications of it, and, most importantly, what the Bible has to say about it. The idea of partiality is mentioned often in the Bible and our hope is to help you get a grasp on a biblical view of this idea rather than following with the cultural trend of our nation.
The 17:17 podcast is a ministry of Roseville Baptist Church (MN) that seeks to tackle cultural issues and societal questions from a biblical worldview so that listeners discover what the Bible has to say about the key issues they face on a daily basis. The 17:17 podcast seeks to teach the truth of God's Word in a way that is glorifying to God and easy to understand with the hope of furthering God's kingdom in Spirit and in Truth.
