One of our favorite topics to discuss on Truth Over Tribe is race and ethnicity, but one related topic we have yet to explore here is mixed ethnic identity. Today, we’re excited to do that when Eli Bonilla Jr., author of “Mixed: Embracing Complexity by Uncovering Your God-Led Identity,” joins Patrick on the pod! You’ll hear all about Eli’s experience having a mixed ethnic heritage, why he always felt caught in the middle, and why, after 2020, he stopped identifying as a white man. Eli dives into the differences between race and ethnicity and explains why ethnicity is a healthier, more biblical lens from which to view things. He answers why Christians tend to too easily fall prey to the culture’s conversations and explains why we don’t have to pick and choose which topics matter most. Plus, why does the conversation of race and ethnicity exclude so many people of color? And what message would he give to churches that are predominantly one race?

Constitutional lawyer and abortion abolitionist Bradley Pierce discusses the differences between the pro-life and abolitionist movements, the potential unintended consequences of extreme views, and the controversial topic of criminalizing mothers for abortions. The podcast also explores the failures of certain states in making progress towards abortion legislation and the discrimination that can arise in the pro-life movement.

What is culture anyway? Despite being a cultural commentary podcast, we’ve never quite teased out the seemingly-simple-yet-actually-complicated definition. So today, Patrick teams up with Christopher Watkin, author of Biblical Critical Theory, to define and make sense of “culture.” The two discuss what culture is (and what it isn’t) and what it looks like for Christians to engage with culture. Given that we’re all enculturated, what should we strive for: Should we be more monocultural? Or should our pursuit of Christlikeness place us outside of culture as a whole? How can everyday, average Christians read the Bible and think about culture? And how should we sort out disagreements? Should our interpretation of the Bible be more postmodern in an attempt to make sense of our culture?
