Summary
This episode drops on the three year anniversary of the Capitol insurrection of January 6 2021. The event revealed the dangerous nature of Trumpism and political violence. We should be worried about what happened, even today. But the event also presented an opportunity: it contained an invitation from God for all of us, one that applies to our role in our own corner of the world, even today. In this Good Faith Classic (from also two years ago exactly), Curtis and “founding friend” David French unpack this invitation for everyone.

| 0:00.0 | The Welcome to the Good Faith Podcast, I'm your host Curtis Chang and the Good Faith Podcast is a production of |
| 0:24.3 | Redeeming Babel and it's where friends who follow Jesus help each other make |
| 0:28.9 | sense of the world. Now this particular podcast drops on January 6th and I realize not all listeners |
| 0:36.3 | listen to it on the day very day that it drops but some do and this day of course |
| 0:41.2 | has significance historically speaking. |
| 0:44.4 | It was the January 6th, 2021 when a mob committed a attack, |

| 1:05.6 | that are either trying to get us to forget that event ever happened, |
| 1:09.6 | or even worse, downright falsifying what happened. |
| 1:14.0 | We have Republican presidential candidates who are advancing outright falsehoods |
| 1:19.2 | about that historical event that we all witnessed on TV. |
| 1:24.0 | And so I just felt like it was important, |
| 1:26.6 | especially as we head into this new year, |
| 1:28.4 | this election season, that we mark |
| 1:31.9 | and remember this very critical event that is a horrible event in its own right and also is a sobering warning. |
| 1:40.0 | But I also think that we can appropriate January 6th also for meaning and |
| 1:46.3 | hopefulness for ourselves in terms of what God may be calling us in this |
| 1:52.2 | particular historical moment that it is not just dire |
| 1:55.0 | warning but it is also invitation and so I thought no better way to do this then |
| 2:01.6 | to re-release a good faith classic that I did with David French about two years ago |
