We explore his new book, "Untangling Critical Race Theory: What Christians Need to Know and Why It Matters," and delve into the nuances of race, sports culture, and marriage within the Christian context.
Ed shares his journey from growing up in a diverse neighborhood to becoming an evangelical Christian and studying Marxism and critical theory. He emphasizes the importance of civil discourse and understanding different perspectives within the church, highlighting the historical and ongoing relevance of racial issues in America.
