LTD Podcast E65: Longing for Justice, Beauty, & Purpose: an interview with Rebecca McLaughlin by Pastor JD Greear (Part 4 of 4)

LTD Podcast E65: Longing for Justice, Beauty, & Purpose: an interview with Rebecca McLaughlin by Pastor JD Greear (Part 4 of 4)Pastor JD and Rebecca McLaughlin discuss how a faithful Christian should look and act during these times. It is during these times that we Christians have to understand what it means to be God’s children and how we should tackle the world right now with God’s guidance.  In this episode:A true Christian is one who repents and understand how we have failed to live up to Biblical ethics and how we treat our fellow brothers and sisters, regardless of their race, sexual orientation or culture
We might have differing opinions on certain topics but we can build a foundation and start a conversation on the things we do agree on which will let us build a relationship and, in turn, help us understand one another
Christianity is the reason why we think every human being is morally and equally valuable
Christianity is not only true but gives meaning to both justice and beauty

LTD Podcast E62: Immigration is a Much Needed Blood Transfusion - An Interview with Rebecca McLaughlin by Pastor JD Greear (Part 1 of 4)How can a Christian defend his faith when asked questions like these?What about the history of racism? What about how Christians treat LGBT people? What about your Christian views on sexual ethics?”Pastor JD Greear of Summit Church interviews Rebecca McLaughlin,  author of Confronting Christianity: 12 Hard Questions for the World's Largest Religion about some hard topics on Christianity in today's culture. Non-christians have many misperceptions about Christians. Rebecca thinks that “if we can help them to look more closely, they'll find that things which they thought were reasons to not be followers of Jesus actually become reasons to be followers of Jesus.”With regard to Christianity being a White Man’s religion, Rebecca says, “People often associate Christianity with white Westerners, but actually today, Christianity is not only one of the largest but also the most diverse belief system in the world, essentially even spread of people from Europe, North America, South America and Africa.” In this episode:Misperceptions of non Christians to Christians
How to help them see the truth
How has defending the faith in this generation changed? 
2 major problems with the statement of Christianity is a white man's religion.

LTD Podcast E61: Former President George W Bush, We are all God’s Children. Every Life is Precious

LTD Podcast E61: Former President George W Bush, We are all God's Children. Every Life is PreciousThe 74 year old commander in chief turned artist, George W. Bush talks about immigration and his heart towards the immigrants. With his paintings, he hopes he can help set a tone that is more respectful about the immigrant which may lead to reform of the system. He says, “The problem with the immigration debate is that one can create a lot of fear. They're coming after you. But it's a nation that is willing to accept the refugee or the harmed, or the frightened to me is a great nation. And we are a great nation.” Years after his political career, he remains passionate about social issues and uses his influence and voice to affect change in the society. Something that we Christians should be being called  to be the light and salt in the world. “Mine is just a small voice, in what I hope is a chorus of people saying let's see if we can solve the problem.”Listen to this interview from Today and CBS from a man of great compassion for the people especially the immigrants. In this episode:What led him to painting
His hopes for reform in the system
Supports a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, if they pass a background check and pay back taxes
Humbled by the office
Talks about being friends with Michelle Obama
Hopes for a better understanding about the role of immigrants in our society.
“We're all God's children. And every life is precious, and people need to be treated with respect.”
“And all of us as Americans have to work hard to be respectful of people and understand that we're all American. And each of us have got a culture and tradition that we honor.”

LTD Podcast E60: Former President George W Bush, Boarder Control with Compassion

LTD Podcast E60: Former President George W Bush, Boarder Control with CompassionIn this interview with Hoda Kotb of TODAY, former President George W. Bush talks about immigration. “The beauty of immigration for our country's future has been over clouded by harsh rhetoric and I wanted to tell the stories of courage, compassion, hard work, entrepreneurship, patriotism.” He mainly paints veterans and immigrants because he has a kinship with veterans and got great empathy with immigrants.  For a man like George W. Bush, his heart for the immigrants gives us a glimpse of the heart of God for his people. Bush sees the pain and suffering of the immigrants. He uses his influence through his paintings to send out a powerful message which we all need to listen to. In this episode:Why he paints Veterans and immigrants
Awaiting the Derrick Chauvin verdict, what he thinks will be the impact on the racial reckoning in this country.
“This system (immigration) really needs to be reformed and fixed”
The purpose of the book
“it's not beautiful when we condemn, call people names and scare people about immigration”
“I think if the emphasis is integrity, and decency, and trying to work to get problem solved, I think the person has shot (in the election)”
“Pro immigration in the right way to put it, I think border enforcement with a compassionate touch.”
His thoughts on the Jan 6 Capitol riot
Some of the stories behind the faces in his paintings
