All The ThingsEthics in a Culture of Confusion || 8/2/25 || #214The word ethics is an academic word, but we want to go beyond textbooks and ivory towers and give you a practical guide to understanding what ethics really means. Krista talked to our friend, Dr. Joe Miller and got his help to unpack big questions like what makes something right or wrong and how our everyday choices shape a more ethical society. From small personal decisions to big cultural debates, you’ll learn how to recognize ethical grey areas, apply timeless principles, and stand firm in a world where right and wrong often get blurred.

All The ThingsATT#147 Weighing Pros & Cons of AI || 4/22/23A few weeks ago, Elon Musk and 1000s of other tech leaders started circulating a petition calling for a PAUSE on all major AI developments. This included calling for a moratorium on ChatGPT upgrades. We want to help equip you to think about the rise of Artificial Intelligence technology and how it is already changing our lives. How should Christians think about this issue? Guests: Dr. Joe Miller and Dr. Jeff Zweerink2023-04-091h 02

Thoughtful Christianity#021 Reconciled with Monique DusonDr. Corey Miller welcomes Chantal Monique Duson onto the program to discuss her book "Reconciled: A Biblical Approach to Racial Unity". Monique outlines her journey from growing up in Los Angeles, graduating from Biola University, and doing missions work in South Africa, all while believing firmly in Critical Race Theory. It wasn't until she was counseled to look at what the Bible actually says about reconciliation that she began to look at things from a Biblical perspective rather than what the culture around her told her.2022-09-1932 minIdeas Have ConsequencesHijacked Justice: with Monique Duson and Krista BontragerWe all want to be against racism and injustice. Leading voices in the culture today tell us that to be "antiracist" and to work for social justice, we need to embrace a neo-Marxist ideology called "Critical Theory." This theory hides under the attractive label "antiracism," but beneath that hides a whole list of interconnected causes, including but not limited to Critical Race Theory (CRT), Gender Theory, Queer Theory, and so on. Unfortunately, many well-meaning Christians turn to these cultural "solutions" without knowing their deeply anti-Christian roots. Sadly, many of these Christians soon find themselves giving subtle support to socialism...2022-07-131h 28
All The ThingsCritical Theory Comes to Christian Colleges || 11/12/2020 || #78Critical Theory isn't just a problem at secular universities. It has flooded into most Christian universities as well.

All The ThingsScientific Racism || 7/25/2020 || #64We are going to take a look at the history of eugenics (aka "scientific racism"). It was a major scientific movement in the early 20th century that most people don't know about. What role did Darwin's theory play in the rise of eugenics in America? And what does eugenics tell us about the foundations of institutionalized racism?
