The TikTok Slavery Debate That Forced Me to Speak Out
In this episode
In this episode, I respond to a viral TikTok question that stopped me in my tracks: "Why didn't Jesus condemn slavery?"I break down the massive differences between American chattel slavery (one of the most evil systems in history) and biblical slavery under Levitical law — which more closely resembled regulated indentured servitude or a form of employment. I explain how God regulated practices like slavery and divorce (Matthew 19) without approving of them, because He deals with a fallen, sinful world.This episode tackles tough questions head-on:Was biblical slavery actually "a job" with protections?How do Levitical laws apply (or not apply) to modern society?Why does God regulate evil instead of instantly abolishing it?If you've ever been challenged on slavery in the Bible, this one is for you. Honest, biblical, and unapologetic.
