Ministries
Social Justice
Those who love God must also love justice. We engage racism, inequality, and systemic injustice through the lens of Scripture and the power of the Holy Spirit.
Our conviction
The Gospel demands justice
Pentecost 4 Life identifies, provides, recommends, and partners with other groups to offer programs and activities that address racism, discrimination, socioeconomic inequities, rights, the education system, crime prevention, and other moral problems in our communities.
“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”

Programs & resources
Teaching & Biblical Reflection
Radio broadcasts, blog posts, and eLearning courses offering biblically grounded analysis of social, economic, and political issues — equipping Christians to think Christianly about the world they live in.
The G.I.S.T. of the Matter Blog
Focused theological and ethical reflections on current social issues — from policing to economic disparity to education equity. Rigorous, accessible, rooted in decades of scholarly and pastoral experience.
Social Ethics Workshops
Community workshops that wrestle with hard questions: What does the Bible say about systemic racism? How do Christians engage political processes faithfully? What does justice look like in a globalized world?
Community Partnerships
We partner with organizations working on crime prevention, education access, economic empowerment, and civil rights — because biblical justice requires both prophetic voice and practical action.
Injustice Made Legal
Dr. Bennett’s landmark book examines biblical law and its implications for understanding systemic injustice today. Available in the Store for individual study, small groups, and seminary courses.
“Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow's cause.”
— Isaiah 1:17
