Bethel McGrew

Nijay Gupta, a New Testament theologian, and Bethel McGrew, a Christian writer, explore the cultural impact of Charlie Kirk's memorial service. They debate whether the event signifies a revival or a rise in Christian nationalism. Nijay critiques the potential hagiography surrounding Kirk, while Bethel contrasts this with Erica Kirk's powerful message of forgiveness. They discuss the implications of Kirk’s rhetoric on race and minority communities and the reactions to perceived political exploitation at the memorial, questioning how to navigate faith and politics in today’s landscape.
