Two friends—one black, one white—share why our best hope for racial unity is Christ.
In today’s toxic atmosphere of division, strife, and blame, most prescriptions for “racial reconciliation” cause more problems than they solve. The Bible offers a better hope for unity than anything the world has to offer.
Many Christians want to foster racial unity but don’t know how. Epithets like “woke,” “white fragility,” and “whiteness” only breed distrust. In this moving and compelling testimony, Monique Duson and Krista Bontrager tell the story of their unlikely interracial friendship. Answering the most common questions they encounter about race and racism, they share the practical (and sometimes humorous) biblical wisdom they have acquired for living in unity with Christians of every ethnicity.
Monique Duson is the President at the Center for Biblical Unity. She has a background in social service and children's ministry. She has worked with a diverse array of under-served communities. She worked as a Missionary to South Africa for over four years, serving children and teachers impacted by drugs, violence, and trauma. She spent two decades advocating for Critical Race Theory (CRT), but through a series of events, she began to clearly see the contradictions of CRT with the historic Christian worldview. Monique is now convinced that CRT is not the best way to achieve racial unity and actively speaks out against the use of CRT within the church. Monique has appeared on shows such as Relatable (with Allie Beth Stuckey), the Alisa Childers podcast, and Breakpoint (with John Stonestreet). Monique has a BA in Sociology from Biola University, and is pursuing an MA in Public Theology at Birmingham Theological Seminary.
Krista Bontrager is a fourth-generation Bible teacher. She is an author, podcaster, former university professor and homeschool mom. Krista has a BA in Communications from Biola University, and a MA in Theology, and MA in Bible Exposition from Talbot School of Theology. She has worked for almost three decades in various capacities in theology and apologetics, and is the VP of Educational Programs and Biblical Integrity at the Center for Biblical Unity. She is working on a Doctor of Ministry in Apologetics at Birmingham Theological Seminary.
