600: Not Debating Trump & Being Like Jesus with John Mark Comer

Updated: Mar 29


It’s been nearly a decade since Donald Trump descended on his golden escalator and turned conventional wisdom about evangelical political values upside-down. Bonnie Kristian has a new article arguing that the only one’s still fighting about whether or not to support him are the “evangelical elites,” but for average evangelicals the debate about Trump is over. John Mark Comer is back to discuss his new book, “Practicing the Way.” He talks with Skye about the high cost of non-discipleship, and the unique ways ministry can malform a young pastor’s soul. Plus, scientists in the UK discover that most people can talk chicken.

Good discussions on the podcast.


It is problematic when people only receive news information from their particular media silo, and it is further complicated when the leading directive is not to criticize the "team", where as criticizing the opposing "team" is fair game.


John Mark Comer mentioned that perhaps only 4% of evangelicals are in a discipleship life-style. That sort of lines-up with the statistic from the Barna Group that only 4% of America now hold a biblical worldview.


A distressing thought is that over 80% of U.S. white evangelicals will end up supporting and voting for a candidate that parrots fascist dictator thought. Where as Bonhoeffer gave his life fighting that very thought as part of the Confessing Church…

Once again, my favorite Holy Post-ers gloss over the topic of industrial animal welfare (tangential to the chicken study) and reduce it to a punch line, dismissing it as a political issue instead of a theological one. I have news for you: the mandate God gave us to steward creation and the animals on it did not expire with the fall of Eden. This isn’t about whether or not to eat meat (meat is delicious); this is about asking what is ethical in that process.


Read “Stewards of Eden” and interview the author, professor Richter, Hebrew scholar at Harvard and translator for the NIV on her understanding of God’s emphasis throughout the Old and New Testaments asking and answering the…

In light of today's topics, highly recommend the book The Space Between Us by Sarah Bauer Anderson.

No, Carole Middleton did not scheme to have her daughter meet and marry Prince William. The Crown is both inaccurate and slanderous. The working royals are real people trying to do some good in the world, not just vapid celebrities looking for fame. You have done them a grave disservice.

Can we stop with the "both sides" BS (BSBS)? Its false equivalence and it feeds right into Dump's playbook. In this pod, Phil drops the BSBS at about minute 28 comparing The Colbert Report (a political satire) to Fox News (a multi-billion dollar media empire created for the purpose of garnering power for the powerful - oddly enough they skew left in the UK but only because that's where the power is). It's not the same and it shouldn't be treated the same.


You're right, Bonnie's right, the debate is over. It's been over since we watched evangelical Christians - most of whom couldn't find Genesis in the Bible, but are certain that being hospitable to immigrants is a mortal…

Agreed, Gods kingdom will be fine. Praise Him! In the meantime, my kids are growing up in a country where truth is irrelevant, Jesus' example is scorned as weak, and the worst part of the whole thing is that our people (Christians) are responsible for most of it - hence my criticism of the both sides BS that is a mainstay of the pod.


I see men and women, whom I thought were courageous, sell there souls for power only to turn around and use that power to spread fear and hatred. Once you've abandoned your principals and accepted the absurdities offered by the Dump cult, you will stand on the sideline and watch the atrocities.
