In a world increasingly hostile to Christianity, pastors need a theology on politics. The church isn't "getting more political." Politics are getting more theological. And as they do, phrases like... - The gospel is neither right nor left - Not red elephant or blue donkey, but slain lamb - Prophetic not partisan ... are not as helpful as once hoped.

Emotional Sabatoge via his wife and children often neuter a pastor's pulpit and ministry if he does not get his "first ministry" (his family) right. With Negative World cultural pressure working to counter-disciple our families, this dynamic is exacerbated. @Josh_McPherson talks about building a wartime ministry family that fights WITH YOU instead of growing up to fight AGAINST YOU in Episode 2...

    Ezekial 8 - "So I dug into the wall [of the Temple] and saw a doorway there. 9 And God said to me, “Go in and see the wicked and detestable things they are doing here.” 10 So I went in and looked, and I saw portrayed all over the walls all kinds of crawling things and unclean animals and all the idols of Israel. 11 In front of them stood seventy elders of Israel, and Jaazaniah son of Shaphan was standing among them. Each had a censer in his hand, and a fragrant cloud of incense was rising. 12 He said to me, “Son of man, have you seen what the elders of Israel are doing in the darkness, each at the shrine of his own idol? They say, ‘The Lord does not see us.'"

    I find the arguments presented in the podcast quite problematic, particularly in the way certain topics are addressed. The claim that toxic empathy leads us to support lies and destructive policies is not only simplistic but also dangerous. It suggests that compassion for others, especially women in difficult situations, equates to endorsing sin, ignoring the complex emotional and social realities they face. The discussion on abortion is especially concerning. Portraying women who choose abortion as merely motivated by toxic empathy downplays the often tragic circumstances surrounding such decisions. The argument that abortion is inherently violent and immoral leaves no room for compassion or understanding of the individual stories and needs of these women. The podcast overlooks that it’s often not just about right or wrong, but about the real-life situations that lead to these choices. Additionally, a rigid binary view of gender and marriage is promoted, excluding the diversity of human identities and experiences, which can harm and alienate people. The assertion that only a specific form of marriage aligns with God's plan contradicts the experiences of many in non-traditional relationships or gender identities.

    I’m interested in future episodes. But, I’m not sure the statement “no one has had an answer for negative world” is entirely true. The epistles are a negative world Context… Also, I admittedly haven’t read wren yet but, wren is not the first person to expose this. Go read Niebuher Christ and culture.

    This was so good !! Thank you Pastors, for letting us know that it’s ok to say that this is truth and that’s a lie, these guys are good and those guys are bad!! Because today people want to make you feel bad if your empathy is not the way they see it!! They want us to water everything down to make others feel good instead of saying the truth. So thank you for leading your flock in truth.
