Welcome to the Conversations That Matter Podcast. My name is John Harris. We're going to talk today about the infamous, now infamous, Beth Moore tweet that went out ironically on a Sunday yesterday. It was kind of copycatted by a number of other progressive

evangelicals and the long and short of it is a condemnation of Christian

nationalism. Now it's interesting to me that this whole battle

bubbled over on a Sunday the day that generally Christians set aside to go to church

to rest to not do the activities like work they do on the rest during the rest of the

week but there are many Christians working very hard on social media this past Sunday and you know

maybe that's an appropriate thing, I guess,

those who would want to rip down and deconstruct Christianity

from the inside, you know, maybe making this battle happen on a Sunday

or, you know, really just getting irritated and I don't know just

going back and forth on a Sunday is the day you want to do it. I'm not saying

you can't tweet on a Sunday I'm gonna show you I did respond to a number of

these things but it's just weird to me. I don't know.

It's just generally the weekend, especially Sundays, that's when you're not engaged

in those kinds of things. You're with family, you're not engaged in those kinds of things you're with family you're at church

that kind of stuff but you know and maybe some of these people were I don't know but

it was certainly getting zesty, let's just say, on some social media platforms.

And it's an opportunity.

This is why I want to put this out today, Monday, because I really do think that this has been going on for a long time, this accusation that if you're

a politically conservative, maybe you supported Donald Trump, you supported perhaps you voted for Romney you voted for McCain you voted for Bush voted for Republicans

You're a Christian Nationalist I mean this accusation has been leveled. I don't know how many times and I want to start to at least build the groundwork

for dealing with this, for understanding it,
