Description
In today's episode, I discuss Jen Hatmaker's FB post, it's listed below. I can definitely understand her sentiments, nor do I disagree. More specifically I share my thoughts on the values of the church and thoughts about how the next-generation church looks I hope you will tune in. You can always reach out to the podcast encouragingyourspiritpodcast@gmail.com. I am not sure I will ever be able to articulate the betrayal these last few years have felt like watching the church that raised me to fall into lockstep with Trump. It is actually shocking. The white supremacy, the brutal anti-immigrant policies, the immorality, the absolute depravity. Every value supposedly held dear - purity, lovingkindness, integrity, humility - turned out to be meaningless when they interfered with proximity to power. So many of us feel like spiritual orphans, abandoned by our spiritual leaders and disassociated from the church that once taught us to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God. It was and remains one of the great sorrows of my adult life.If Biden is elected, the Christian leaders who threw themselves at Trump & defended his indefensible words & deeds will now be left empty-handed. They got their 30 pieces of silver, but they lost their witness, their integrity, & the next generation of the church.And as I said below to a commenter: This is not a tacit endorsement of Biden. It is grief over the Christian defense and rabid support of Trump. I will never get over it. My kids will never get over it.
