This podcast episode examines the intersection of theology and politics within the context of cancel culture, highlighting the challenges faced by Christian educational institutions in defining doctrine and managing faculty contracts. Mattingly draws on historical examples and current controversies, such as the treatment of faculty regarding their identities and beliefs, to underscore the necessity for clear communication and transparent policies. The conversation stresses that without well-defined doctrinal statements, institutions may inadvertently enter into legal quagmires, as well as emphasize the need for nuanced discussions around sensitive issues like racial justice and personal identity.
