Randy Trahan, Jimmy Bozeman (or Trahan), Kendra Trahan and Camille Trahan

In this episode, Professor Trahan tackles the subject of the Sufficiency of Scripture. This is one of crucial importance and one that I believe conservative evangelicals are trying to make a more cogent argument for today. This comes down to knowing how we handle the Scriptures and apply them to our lives. As it relates to issues surrounding the conversation on racism today--we must approach it from an authority higher than our personal opinions. It must be rooted in the text of Scripture because God has spoken and He is our highest authority. *Black Lives Matter* - Randy's comment on Black Lives Matter while succinctly stated is representative of both of our views; even so, I (Travis) believe our views can be further expounded upon by this excellent article by Josh Buice of G3: https://g3min.org/three-reasons-why-christians-should-reject-blacklivesmatter/ FREE SMALL GROUP RESOURCE: https://www.travismcneely.com/crt-series Discussion Guide for the whole series.

In this episode, Professor Trahan walks viewers through an explanation & critique of Resolution 9: On Critical Race Theory & Intersectionality from the 2019 SBC Annual Meeting in Birmingham, AL. He also engages in a critique of those who have defended the Resolution as a good resolution, such as a well-known speaker and apologist Neil Shenvi. While Neil's works have been referenced in previous episodes (Linked below), nevertheless, professor Trahan departs from Neil on the benefits and utility that this resolution allegedly offers Southern Baptists. FREE SMALL GROUP RESOURCE: https://www.travismcneely.com/crt-series Discussion Guide for the whole series. I think this episode will be valuable for those who are unfamiliar with the controversy within the SBC. It will be valuable for those who do not know how to critique those who say they are against CRT, but supported Resolution 9. Also, it will be valuable to see how the "long-march-through-the-institutions" actually happens.

This article can be found on Baptist Press. In the American Spectator Mark DeVine has written an insightful analysis of the current situation in the SBC regarding this resolution and the history of the response to it on both sides: https://spectator.org/southern-baptists-critical-race-theory/ Connect with Travis: Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/wtmcneely Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/TravisMcNeel...

I'm sure you've already looked at the timeline and noticed how long this video is. It is the longest in the series because I didn't want to make claims without supporting evidence. In this episode, Professor Randy Trahan surveys the Evangelical Landscape looking at many para-church organizations and specifically at the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) to point out where there is evidence of Critical Race Theory.
