Vox Podcast With Mike Erre

How faith, systemic injustice, and American Christianity collide: In this powerful and raw continuation of the Exile Series, Mike Erre, Tim Stafford, and special guests Bonnie Lewis and Dr. Tim Gombis reflect deeply on the ways capitalism, white supremacy, and an individualized gospel have distorted the church's call to justice, community, and spiritual wholeness. Sharing personal stories, announcing new podcast ventures, and diving deep into difficult truths, the team examines why racial reconciliation isn't a social add-on to the gospel—it's at its core. Key Takeaways: • A Gospel Distorted by Individualism – How American evangelicalism has traded the New Testament's communal call for justice with a privatized salvation that separates personal faith from systemic injustice. • The Economic Roots of Racism – Exploring Coates' claim that "racism is the child of economic injustice" and examining how capitalism structurally inhibits the church from pursuing racial reconciliation. • Reclaiming the Biblical Vision
