Episode #96: Monique Duson On Intersectionality, Sexuality & Walking In Unity
Racial reconciliation is a significant topic in our current cultural moment. The key question is: Is the approach taken by the world effective? We argue that it is not and that the Scriptures and the Gospel of Christ offer a better solution. This was the focus of our recent interview with Monique Duson. Monique helps us better understand how intersectionality and Critical Race Theory (CRT) influence today's perspectives on human sexuality. Additionally, we discussed her new book titled "Walking in Unity."
"Walking in Unity" aims to provide Christ-centered solutions to the issues surrounding race and racism. Authors Monique Duson and Krista Bontrager address the distinctions between secular approaches to achieving consensus and the biblical call for unity. They explore what Scripture teaches about racial harmony and emphasize how Christians can find a shared identity through faith in Christ.
Monique Duson is the President of the Center for Biblical Unity. With a social services and children's ministry background, she has worked with a diverse range of underserved communities. Monique served as a missionary in South Africa for over four years, helping children and teachers affected by drugs, violence, and trauma. For two decades, she advocated for Critical Race Theory (CRT), but after experiencing a series of events, she began to recognize the contradictions between CRT and the historic Christian worldview. Monique is now convinced that CRT is not the best path to achieving racial unity, and she actively speaks out against its application within the church.
Monique has appeared on various shows, including *Relatable* with Allie Beth Stuckey, the *Alisa Childers Podcast*, and *Breakpoint* with John Stonestreet. She holds a BA in Sociology from Biola University and is currently pursuing an MA in Public Theology at Birmingham Theological Seminary.
