Summary

In a time when the slimmest margins in just a couple of swing states can flip national elections, Democrats are making a play for the pews. Claremont Institute Lincoln Fellow and Daily Wire Reporter Megan Basham joins the editors to discuss her latest book, Shepherds for Sale, which describes a left-wing effort to wield evangelical voting power and moral prestige for woke causes. Plus: Brazil is encroaching on the free speech rights of Americans through sanctions on X/Twitter, while the FBI is consulting with the Brazilian government to facilitate the encroachment. Are we heading toward jail time for memes?

This curriculum called the after party that was developed by David French and Christianity today,

0:09.2

editor-in-chief Russell Moore, and this left Democrat Duke Divinity Professor and it's

If you're, if your pastor is bringing that into your church and they know who's

0:45.1

funding it and you bring that to their attention and they're still not willing to say

0:51.3

oh maybe this isn't something we should have here.

0:53.0

Maybe this isn't an influence that's good for our people in our church.

0:56.4

At that point, I might consider getting out.

0:58.0

I mean, if you've tried to have conversations, they're not hearing it,

1:00.5

then I think you do need to look elsewhere because we want to build up the

1:03.7

body of Christ we want to build up the local church and we don't do that by

1:21.5

Apostle Paul confronting the Apostle Peter and saying hey you're bringing

1:25.4

legalism into the church and you're joining with these guys who want to add law to

1:30.6

grace and we're not going to be a part of that and we don't have those kind of tough
