Episode notes

i'm just going to read these r words and invite t people to wemen. Verse esis one 26, then god said, let us make man in our collective pronoun. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens. That's a critical phrase, because that's this ancient practice where when an emperor would set up an empire and wanted to rule in a corner of his empire,. i think it is interesting how polita political movement often sees how individualism is inhibiting its ability to respond to injustice.

In a follow up to last week’s Deconstructing Faith episode, David French and Curtis Chang dive into the sometimes murky and contradictory political views of Christians. All too frequently, the political stances we think are biblical are actually just cultural.

Why are most Christians’ political stances so predictable? For example, why do many believers who care about abortion not care as much about systemic racism? Or vice versa?

Tune into today’s episode as Curtis and David tackle the fascinating interaction between politics, culture, and the Bible… and end with a surprising take on abortion and systemic racism.
