Summary

In this RECAPS Episode, Tim and April discuss significant events in Christian culture, including Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde's powerful plea for mercy during a prayer service, the contrasting response from Trump and right-wing figures, and the implications of toxic empathy in today's political climate. They explore the misinterpretation of scripture and the scapegoating of immigrants, ultimately reflecting on the challenges posed by Christian nationalism. In this conversation, Tim and his co-host discuss various topics, including misconceptions about transgender individuals, the influence of radicalization from the church, and the controversial health policies proposed by RFK.
