Ep 1087 | Kamala’s 'Jesus Is Lord' Controversy
Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey
Navigating the Intersection of Faith and Politics
This chapter explores the use of the phrase 'Christ is King' within political discourse and its implications. The discussion highlights the motives behind such expressions and the potential for misinterpretation, particularly in relation to figures like Kamala Harris.
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"?
