Marxism is anti-biblical, but it has made big strides within the church and society. Believers and the church are called to represent the truth, whether it is popular or not. In this small group we will use authors Owen Strachan and Voddie Baucham Jr. to understand why Critical Race Theory, with its Marxist principles, is irreconcilable with Biblical Christianity. Author Eric Metaxas will help us to understand the Church’s call to action in these matters by examining the Church’s failure during the rise of Nazi Germany, and the parallels with our current age. Lastly, the group will brainstorm how we apply what we’ve learned to influence the culture in our own spheres.
