I’m trying to research and promote black pastors, teachers, theologians and/or bloggers/pundits who have not bought into woke theology. I know a few off the top of my head: D. Harrison, Pastor Voddie, Choc. Knox... any others? The BarPodcast group.... they are very important voices today

What about Anthony Carter? He seems pretty solid, no? I don’t know much about him... thanks!
 
Probably not quite what you're thinking of, and perhaps "controversial", but the first name that comes to mind is Jesse Lee Peterson. His stuff is mostly political but his conversation is very wholesome and focused on the transforming power of the Gospel.

I have heard a couple of his interviews with Stefan Molyneux, which were good. Does he claim to be Reformed?
 
*Ahem*

Me :coffee:

HA! All jokes aside, take a look at the Statement Against Social Justice online. It's website has a signature list from every signer since its inception. I found it encouraging that a plethora of African churches have signed it too. Be blessed and encouraged brother. The Gospel is the power of God for salvation for every tribe and tongue! Christ's church is alive and well in all corners of the earth!
 
Dr. Carl Ellis Jr. is excellent in dealing with racial issues from biblical and historical points of view.

I've also enjoyed reading some pastoral works by HB Charles Jr. I have not read anything where he deals specifically with racism. But in everything I've read so far, he does well at keeping things biblical. I think he would fall into the broad category of reformed baptist. I have heard some of his conference talks online that do deal with racism and his approach seems more biblical rather than following critical race theory.

There's no doubting the fact that Dr. Ellis is an important voice today, but I've had a more mixed response to some of his comments.

While Jesse is a conservative and a common sense man, he is not a Christian. He is a modalist.
 
He’s not Reformed, but James Ford Jr. has had insightful, biblical teaching on various topics.

I haven’t heard him talk about race stuff hardly. When he has, it’s been good and even with a tinge of humor with it.
 
I was wrong. Jesse is not a modalist. He denies the deity of Christ and the Holy Spirit. I found this YouTube video. Not sure who the guy is who did it but you can hear it straight from Jesse’ Mouth

At first I was thinking of Lecrea (who has seemed to be into that stuff based on Twitter). Do you have certain requirements? You title has pastors/theologians, which I would have assumed you are looking for a seminary education, but with pundits/bloggers [in body of the post], it seems that may not be a requirement.

Good question! I blog at a site called American Thinker, check it out! And I’ve been writing so much about CRT & woke theology that I have a bit of a case of ‘white guilt’ which I would like to make up for if I could....

So I wanted to throw a few Reformed guys into the mix ....

Here’s my list, I think I will probably leave it as it....

Lecrae- good guy, I’ve written on him in the past, but I’m raising the bar bit in my focus. He’s pretty mainstream now, which is fine. I’m still a big fan of his

Ben Carson
Candace Owens
Chocolate Knox
Shai Linne
Darrell Harrison
Voddie Baucham
Thomas Sowell
Alan Keyes
Clarence Thomas

1 more?

Keyes and Thomas are Roman Catholic. I think Sowell is agnostic. You’re crossing categories of Christian, Reformed and politically conservative.

Are you joking?

The headline is "Reformed Black Pastors/Theologians.

1) He's not reformed - he's Roman Catholic.
2) He's not a pastor or theologian. Or for that matter with reference to the top post, a blogger or pundit.

Looking for a Black Reformed preacher? Try Julian Russell.
 
Sorry for the confusion, I was looking for Reformed Christians to add to my list of black conservatives, hopefully Christian, but at least social conservative. But from you guys I was looking for Reformed Black Christians with a bit of a social media presence but most have seemingly gone woke

If skin color and politics are your considerations, I'm surprised that Herman Cain isn't on your list.

I thought of him, he just missed the cut... I also dropped Sowell. Not they aren’t worthy of general consideration due to their contributions to society and free market ideology. I’m focusing on social conservatives/believers and not being too discriminatory about their denomination. I’m trying to stick with areas I’m a little more knowledgeable, like religion, faith and value/cultural issues with a political overlap, unfortunately not much is not political and the site is primarily political while touching on all other areas
