Beyonce, Empowerment and Post-modern Pluralism

Beyonce

Season 4, Episode 3

Teaching Pastor at Soul Revival Church, Karen, joins Joel and Stu to continue looking at ministering in 2010s and 2020s. Seminal artist Beyonce provides the frame of reference in discussing certain social issues that she aligns with.

In answering a question from Callan, we see that the Shock Absorber provides an ongoing, long-term, low key and relational approach to developing a higher level of discipleship.
