Outro

What is the church's role in justice, and are we missing the mark? In this thought-provoking conversation, Mike Erre and Tim Stafford dive deep into the intersection of faith and politics, examining how the church engages (or fails to engage) with justice in today's world. From exploring the misuse of Christian imagery in political discourse to reflecting on cultural issues like immigration and systemic injustice, this episode challenges us to reconsider what it means to truly embody the teachings of Jesus.

The discussion highlights the dangers of "Christian cosplay"—performing faith while neglecting justice—and the call to cruciformity, a life shaped by the cross, humility, and self-sacrificial love. The hosts draw from Scripture, including Jeremiah, Isaiah, and the Sermon on the Mount, to critique the blending of nationalism and religion, and to emphasize the church's responsibility to defend the oppressed and care for the vulnerable.

This episode is a call to action for Christians to navigate cultural challenges with integrity, choosing faithfulness to Jesus over allegiance to political ideologies. How do we reconcile public worship with private injustice? What does it mean to be a light for the kingdom in a culture drenched in fear and division?
