Summary
King Charles III addressed Congress last week, citing his Christian faith as a foundation for pluralism and peace. President Trump, in contrast, gave a speech welcoming the King that referenced Christianity as a cultural identity requiring exclusion and protection. Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn unpack the two very different visions of faith. Alan Noble is back to discuss his new book, "To Live Well," and why young people are looking for virtues that are grounded in something more than online influencer advice. Also this week: Was the shooter at the White House Correspondents' Dinner a devout evangelical or a crazed leftist? Matthew Sorens from World Relief gives us an update on what's happening with immigrants and refugees. Why are Americans losing the art of hanging out with strangers? And a bear suit insurance scam.
Immigration Update: Matthew Soerens shares timely updates on immigration policy and why this moment calls for thoughtful Christian advocacy. To schedule virtual meeting with your lawmakers and access the Advocacy Guide, visit https://www.WorldRelief.org/AdvocateNow by May 29th!
