Tru-ID Podcast

Tru-ID is a podcast that focuses on Christian apologetics and tackling the issues of our time from a Christian perspective. The host of Tru-ID, Adam Coleman, hopes to honor Jesus Christ by engaging questions about and objections to Christianity, particularly those related to the African American community. Podcast episodes will explore race, the allegation that Christianity is the "white man's religion", history, science, philosophy, current events, and various ways to defend the Christian faith. The central theme of the Tru-ID Podcast series is that our true identity is to be found in God who has made mankind in His image.

Many people today are *blindly* accepting the notion that to be a "Black Christian" is an oxymoron. I say "blindly" because I'd argue that a careful consideration of the interplay between African ethnicity/identity/heritage and Christianity affords us rational grounds to affirm Christianity without undermining our "blackness". In a recent video  @GarrisonHayes  presents a set of concerns related to church, black history, and suffering for which some, like his interviewee Dr. Anthony Pinn, would suggest that given "Christianity's" track record with black people we shouldn't be Christians and that it might very well be the case that if God exists he likely hates black people. As I say all the time, most people are poor historians and even worse philosophers. In this video I give a very brief overview of reasons why someone can be black and have rational grounds to be a Christian. For the sake of not making a 10 hour response I've held back on some of the directions one could go in answering these questions but provided links throughout the video to resources for viewers who want to go further.

IMPORTANT NOTE: In the original version of this response video I mistakenly referred to Garrison as an atheist but should have been more careful to say that he has put forth a form of argument that atheists present (ie problem of evil). The argument from evil and suffering against Christianity was then defended during this interview by well-known black atheist/secular humanist, Dr. Anthony Pinn. So with respect to Pinn, it is the case that, as I said in my intro, “atheist says black Christians need to leave Christianity alone.” I originally intended to speak more directly to Pinn’s argument but cut the video short for the sake of being concise. In doing so I framed my commentary as if Garrison were forwarding Pinn’s argument. While the response I would give to the question Garrison posed at the beginning of his video would remain the same I do apologize for mislabeling him and implying anything inaccurate about him. #thinkonthesethings and hit that play button! #urbanapologetics #Christianity #Apologetics #race
