Ep 1087 | Kamala’s 'Jesus Is Lord' Controversy
Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey
Examining Political Alignments within Black Churches
This chapter examines Kamala Harris's interactions with Black churches, exploring the contradictions in her alignment with Christian values. It critiques her political platform from a Christian perspective while addressing the integrity of church leaders and the implications for Christian nationalism.
Today, we're discussing Russell Moore, the editor in chief of Christianity Today, and his bizarre article in which he lashes out against the idea of toxic empathy, even going so far as to compare Allie to whom? We also talk about the misapplication of the biblical idea of "the least of these" to politics, making it mean something that it doesn't. And Kamala Harris appeared at a church this past weekend to campaign, worship, and even preach a little bit. But wait, didn't she just heckle someone at a recent rally for shouting, "Jesus is Lord"?
