In this message, Lead Pastor Aaron Brockett unpacks what the Bible really says about the oppression of women and minorities. For many who leave the church, their deconstruction of the faith is due to the way some Christians treat the people who fall into these groups. Pastor Aaron explains the difference between authentic Christianity and those who use the label of Christianity, and how that affects the treatment of the people around them.
