Summary

This week our hosts Tim Whitaker and April Ajoy explore the unsettling rise of Christian nationalism, where Donald Trump is shockingly elevated to messiah status through memes and AI-generated images. They delve into the dangerous theology and political idolatry that intertwines faith with power, challenging the integrity of Christian teachings. ____________________________________________________ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you'd like to support our work, you can DONATE here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow Us On Instagram @thenewevangelicals Subscribe On YouTube @thenewevangelicals The New Evangelicals exists to support those who are tired of how evangelical church has been done before and want to see an authentic faith lived out with Jesus at the center.
