Irwyn Ince will unpack the reasons for our divisions while gently guiding us toward our true hope for wholeness and reconciliation.

The Daily Growth Discipleship PodcastUnity and Diversity in God's Beautiful Community - Irwyn Ince (Ep 65)In John 17, Jesus prayed that we, his people, would be one as he and the father are one. If we've learned anything from the year 2020, it's that we still have a long way to go before we see Jesus' prayer become a full reality in the American church. Whether it's factions within a church fighting over carpet colors, or people fighting over wearing masks or not wearing masks, or working out how to respond to issues of racism, we are far from united.

The Moral Minority ShowS5E4: The Beautiful Community | Rev. Irwyn InceBlack Americans have felt alienated from the broader evangelical church in America for hundreds of years. Martin Luther King, Jr. famously said "it is appalling that the most segregated hour of Christian America is eleven o'clock on Sunday morning", and this indictment still rings true in 2020. Irwyn Ince's new book, The Beautiful Community, is a timely polemic to the Church on her lack of true ethnic and cultural diversity in the 21st century. Ince employs a thoroughly Biblically-informed approach to tackle the Christian vision of the Church as a diverse and beautiful community. In this episode, we discuss the...

Help Me Teach The BibleIrwyn Ince and Sean Michael Lucas on Applying Scripture to the Sin of RacismIn the years I’ve spent in the church listening to sermons and teaching, I can think of very few times that I have heard direct applications from the text made to the sin of racism or the sin of apathy toward injustice. Maybe I just didn’t have the ears to hear it. In my own teaching, I may have mentioned racism in a list of sins, or mentioned it as one of the things that will be “no more” in the new heaven and new earth, but I don’t think I’ve ever used an opportunity teaching in a...
