Shepherds Without Sheep Part 1
In part 1 of Shepherds without sheep, Michael Easley, Mike Glenn, and Tim Harlow reflect on missed chances, grace, and making real disciples.
“I was very set in thinking that white people were all racist and participating in systemic injustice and had no idea of the struggle of black people in America. I was definitely looking at the world through a critical race theory lens. And Krista would approach the conversations from a more biblical position. I assumed that much of that position was whiteness. And so we were battling worldviews and wanting to have conversations where we could persuade the other to each other’s side.”
Monique Duson is the President at the Center for Biblical Unity. She has a background in social service and children’s ministry. She has worked with a diverse array of under-served communities. Monique also worked as a missionary to South Africa for over four years, serving children and teachers impacted by drugs, violence, and trauma. She spent two decades advocating for Critical Race Theory (CRT), but through a series of events, she began to clearly see the contradictions of CRT with the historic Christian worldview.
Monique is now convinced that CRT is not the best way to achieve racial unity and actively speaks out against the use of CRT within the church. She has appeared on shows such as Relatable (with Allie Beth Stuckey), the Alisa Childers podcast, and Breakpoint (with John Stonestreet). Monique has a BA in Sociology from Biola University. She is also pursuing an MA in Public Theology at Birmingham Theological Seminary.
Krista Bontrager is a fourth-generation Bible teacher. She is an author, podcaster, former university professor and homeschool mom. Krista has a BA in Communications from Biola University, an MA in Theology, and MA in Bible Exposition from Talbot School of Theology. She has worked for almost three decades in various capacities in theology and apologetics. Krista is the VP of Educational Programs and Biblical Integrity at the Center for Biblical Unity. She is working on a Doctor of Ministry in Apologetics at Birmingham Theological Seminary.
