This was an awesome episode! Thank you so much. I pray the 70% “opposition church” can stop analyzing each-other’s religious differences to unify against this obvious distortion of our faith. The way you do this is wonderful -

I learn & laugh with your unscripted conversations, thanks, Drs. TCU! I note your courage.I keep thinking about last TCU's point that Robby Jones brought up, "But we also note that if JUST FOUR sitting Republican senators would even temporarily side with the 45 Democratic and 2 Independent senators, they could immediately stop the worst of Trump’s actions and halt our nation’s slide into fascism." I saw a rally sign just before Easter, "eggs are expensive because the chickens are in Congress."

Will we fall again to the sin of not welcoming the traveler, foreigner, immigrant--and to greed--the root of racism? With our arrogance & supremacy? That we can't find "JUST FOUR sitting Republican senators (to) temporarily side with the 45 Democratic and 2 Independent senators....to stop the worst of Trump’s actions and halt our nation’s slide into fascism" to spare the nation from its self-destruction? https://open.substack.com/pub/convocation/p/the-crucifixion-of-jesus-and-our?r=518mt6&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

I pray for 10!

I keep thinking of the biblical passage where Abraham asked for a # of people to spare the city of Sodom & Gomorrah where Lot & family lived. Through a Be the Bridge Academy course with Elizabeth Behrens, I learned more of the context & culture. Travelers & foreigners weren't welcome to the city--including the angels. And Ezekiel 16:49-50 "This was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease but did not aid the poor and needy. They were haughty and did abominable things before me".

Great episode!

Grand Canyon grad here. (1991) That extra summer school session & semester doubled my student debt. I ended up with a 159 hour BS in order to graduate....

Part of what angers me about the "anti-Christian task force" is that it diminishes the genuine persecution of Christians that is happening right now all around the world...
