Summary

Today Delano Squires, contributor to BlazeTV's "Fearless with Jason Whitlock," joins us to co-host a biblical state of the union following yesterday's election. We go over our initial post-election thoughts, including DeSantis' massive Florida win. We discuss the Christian worldview issues plaguing our political thought – gender ideology, abortion, the sexual revolution. Where does our faith fit into our policy views, and how can Christians do a better job standing up for what is biblically important and true in our politics? We discuss the need to bring God into our arguments for human rights. Without pointing to a purposeful Creator, how are we to defend the reality behind abortion and gender ideology? We look at some political figures in the spotlight – Walker, Warnock, Trump, and DeSantis – and discuss the prosperity gospel, the Christian view of the Republican Party, and many other topics in this extra long episode! --- Timecodes: [01:15] Initial post-election thoughts / DeSantis [09:37] Worldview issues of Christians / radical Left [19:57] Keeping God in our debates on abortion and gender [26:39] Conservatives need to call the Left's bluff [32:15] Abortion & 2022 state abortion props [51:00] Pastors addressing Genesis issues [1:00:49] Herschel Walker story and owning up to sin [1:05:20] Raphael Warnock & pastors misusing the Bible [1:10:16] Kenneth Copeland at Trump rally & prosperity gospel [1:19:47] Ron DeSantis and Trump [1:29:20] Christian view of the Republican Party [1:39:40] Close --- Today's Sponsors: Naturally It's Clean — visit naturallyitsclean.com/allie and use promo code "ALLIE" to receive 15% off your order.
