Mass shootings are always horrific, senseless, and tragic. And they happen with alarming regularity. In the past month, we’ve seen shootings in Atlanta, Boulder, and in Orange County (the last of which actually occurred after this episode was recorded).
When it comes to what contributes to these mass shootings and how we can prevent them, there aren’t necessarily any easy answers. But in this episode, we take a look at the Atlanta shooting in particular and grapple with the tangled web of contributing factors.
In our discussion, we explore issues of toxic purity culture in evangelical circles, anti-asian racism, and a particular brand of misogyny within that racism. This is a heavy discussion, but we wanted to seek to understand all these issues both with empathy and from a biblical perspective.
