Back in 2016, Donald Trump gave a campaign speech promising that if elected “Christianity will have power.” The Holy Post crew discusses why this message has so much appeal to some Christians today, the way fear has come to mark our faith, and what we can do to counteract the trend.
After the podcast is interrupted by a tornado, Christian asks if we’re seeing signs of the apocalypse. Skye says, “No” and shares his idea for a sermon titled “How Stupid Do We Think God Is?” Plus, listener mail.
I'm always playing catch up with the podcasts. I feel that Skye missed a huge aspect of the difference between 9-11 (today is the anniversary, which was strange) and now. Social media. Facebook launched in 2004, and DSL wasn't until 2007. Not to mention smart phone usage, which was even later. Absolutely, there's a massive difference in how the information was processed by the general public.
The Bible does talk about these things increasing the closer we get. Matthew 24 is full of that info. But as I just breezes over it now, it seemed more of the focus was on not being deceived!

At first, it looks like a typical Christians-Behaving-Badly segment, but there seems to be a lot more here that’s worth noting. While I do not agree with a few of the lead pastor’s practices, I found his humble, submissive, winsome attitude refreshing, especially in light of the seeming double standard that the church has been held to…
No worries...made me laugh and you're not the first to bail😂. Love you guys!
Sorry about that, Amy! I couldn't figure out what to do with "akierulff." So I bailed.
