Summary

In this Emergency RECAPS Episode, Tim and April discuss the recent political landscape following the inauguration of Donald Trump.

The conversation delves into the hypocrisy of Christian leaders, the media's role in shaping narratives, and the misinterpretation of biblical teachings to justify political actions.
