Missing the Message, Missing the Messiah - When we reject correction from the community—and the Christ we claim to follow - Unfiltered Crossroads, Episode 14What if the real test of your convictions isn’t what you say—but who you’re willing to listen to?In this episode of Unfiltered Crossroads, we open with a question that’s torn churches, friendships and families apart: How do you know if something is racist? Not just in theory—but in practice, in the real world, where the answer often depends on who’s at the table and who’s allowed to speak. Through a dinner-table analogy and a look at Acts 6, we explore why discernment isn’t an individual gift; it’s a communal process.Then in Segment 2, we confront the uncomfortable irony of modern-day deportations. As some American Christians champion missions and Spanish-speaking ministries, they simultaneously support policies that expel the very people they claim to reach. We ask the hard question: In deporting our neighbors, could we be deporting Jesus too?This episode challenges our filters, exposes our contradictions, and calls the church to examine what kind of community we really want to be.Shout Hallelujah by Randy Gill, Copyright 2003.
