About the Event
Join us for another BFJN Book Club, meeting on Tuesday evenings via Zoom from 7-8:30pm, beginning on April 21st until May 19th. We will be reading "Subversive Witness: Scripture's Call to Leverage Privilege" by Dominique DuBois Gilliard
Privilege is a social consequence of our unwillingness to reckon with and turn from sin. But properly stewarded, it can help us see and participate in God's inbreaking kingdom. Scripture repeatedly affirms that privilege is real and declares that, rather than exploiting it for selfish gain or feeling immobilized by it, Christians have a responsibility to leverage it.
Dominique DuBois Gilliard highlights several people in the Bible who understood this kingdom call. Through their stories, you will discover how to leverage privilege to:
Resist Sin
Stand in Solidarity with the Oppressed
Birth Liberation
