Prayer as Spiritual Warfare

Join the Voxology Podcast for an engaging exploration of "Lament & Hope: Resisting Christian Nationalism." Hosts Mike Erre and Tim Stafford dive into the pressing issue of Christian nationalism, discussing its implications for Christianity, faith, and the role of the church in society. With a focus on cruciformity and the teachings of Jesus, they unpack the cultural challenges of political idolatry, the misuse of theology, and the erosion of justice. They reflect on lament as a spiritual practice, addressing its power to navigate cultural issues and foster humility amidst complex and divisive times.

How do we respond faithfully as individuals and the church when faced with injustice and dehumanization in society? What does it mean to pray, resist oppression, and embody the way of Jesus in a world grappling with faith and politics? Explore these questions and more as the hosts offer critical insights, thought-provoking commentary, and a call to engage these discussions with curiosity and grace.
