Truth divides but must be embodied in Jesus

Tihomir Kukolja and Pat Kahnke discuss a Christian response to political violence in light of the Charlie Kirk shooting. We explore patterns of political violence, Christian nationalism, and the spiritual responsibility of truth-telling in these divisive times. Drawing from Tihomir’s experience during the Yugoslav wars in the Balkans - and the parallels he sees today in the U.S. - we unpack how rhetoric can spiral out of control, and what it might look like for Christians to respond with love, justice, and courage.
