Eric Metaxas, your confrontation and explanation of the election fraud was brave and insightful. Thank you. Your voice is very important in America today.
I admire the courage and faithfulness of both of these men. Father, continue to use Eric and Sean for your glory and the good of America! May I also be found faithful.

This guy is a warrior God bless him he was the only person that had the nerve to do crusades with everybody was shut down God please bless him always and his family🇵🇷👍
Soooooo good. Thank you so so so much for putting this out there. It’s so important. People need to hear this!!!! God help America. God help the church in America. Wake us up!!!!
Sean has been a tremendous blessing to me. Since listening to his UA-cam posts, I have been delivered from depression and fatigue. I pray for him and his family that God will sustain and keep them in his care. Thank you to him and his family!
My twins are homeschoolers and they are Seniors in High School this year. We will be reading "Bonhoeffer" and "If You Can Keep It" as part of our Government/Civics class curriculum. I pray that enough of the upcoming generation will know enough to defend the freedoms we enjoy that allow us to freely proclaim the Name of Jesus wherever we go. Thank you for this interview and for writing the books that will help us educate this generation. Homeschool parents like me are forever grateful to God for your work.

May I recommend you add the hiding place and parallel journeys to that book list. The hiding place is the story of Corrie ten Boom. She is the female Bonhoeffer. Parallel journeys is also about Nazi Germany and shows the story of a Hitler youth. Powerful.
Me too. Eric's book is situated in my bookshelves so I can see Bonhoeffer's face easily as I pass by. A contemporary hero of mine is Rand Paul. P.S. 79 yrs also.
So often I see Eric in the questioner role and getting information and stories from others. It is so nice to see him on fire for God’s people and the gospel. You can hear his passion in his books, but I always like to hear his opinion on today’s cultural issues.
Marx and Marxism are like the freshly inculturated pandemism part of the Counterreformation. the so-called virus as the next spectre haunting Europe and the world. in the same way basically how Jesus was used. another model to occupy the fantasy of the masses. "the Roman conspiracy to invent Jesus" - the biggest breakthrough in true, authentic conspiracy theory, democratic conspiracy research.
Follow you and happy we have you on our side and keeping us on track. We all pray for you, your family and your Team. Faithful is what we strive to be!!
Good to hear Eric Metaxis again. I thought he had been canceled. Truth tellers are in short supply. “Dare to be a Daniel, dare to stand alone. Dare to have a purpose firm,and dare to make it known .”
Thank you Sean for this interview. I'm a worship leader and following the movement and attending......this book by Eric is one I want to get! I need to understand this more---it's is "lonely" when you stand for conservative Christianity (which is Biblical!) it is lonely. I know this! Praise God for this teaching--I'm pressing in.
I just read his book, BONHOEFFER. It will educate you, inspire you, and make your faith stronger! It will make you more aware. (It's deeply heartbreaking as well)
You can get the book on audible. The start is slow, but it ends well. I'm a huge fan of Bonhoeffer. He and Corrie ten Boom are my heroes. You must read The Hiding Place! It's my 5th scripture.

This was fantastic! Eric is so great at articulating what is happening in our country, culture etc. So thankful for him and his voice and influence right now!
Dearest Eric.You are gifted to do this! All I know of you is watching your shows where your interviewing and making minimum comments. You should be on the Talking end of things like you are today. I pray God opens the door for you to become a vocal leader in talking to men about being real men
What we really need are God-fearing men. Men who hear from God & who allow God to define for them what their God-given destiny is for them. Not shaped by the world or defined by the world. But who draw their life and breath and revelation from God Himself.

Thank u, the only reason our country has survived this little amount of time is we lived by spiritual principals. I've never seen so many men just give up ther freedom over fear.
BRO!!! Sean was with you in Erbil for a second at 100 HRS a few years back. Thanks for being so honest with your journey. So proud of you and what you're doing. Blessings from Israel!
Wasn't it pastors who encouraged and spoke in their churches of the tyranny of England before the American Revolution?!!!!! Where are our pastors now? These two are some of those courageous men . They spoke of others who are standing. Praying God direct and go with them in the battles ahead. Praying protection over their families!
They are a few out there STANDING and speaking the TRUTH. If, IF, many who are picking and poking through theological differences and fighting against each other, would stop that and UNITE on WHAT is truly important!!!
Amen! Thank you, Sean, for talking about the differences in the churches. We are all of our Lord Jesus Christ if we claim to know and believe in Him for salvation. And we all have different gifts so use them and encourage each other on and not tear each other up. Praise be to God our Father! Thank you, Eric, your words speak truth into our times today. So profound! Bless you both!
It's so interesting, the prophetic timing. I had awareness of Communism and Nazism through my wife's family who lived under the Soviet oppression. But I had Eric's book - Bonhoeffer on my shelf for a number of years and then finally read it December 2019/January 2020. I now feel God's timing was in my reading it in preparedness.

Michael Hoff said “hard times creat strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create hard times.” Lot of weak men today in America.

I’m more of a post Millennial in my end time view point so when you talk of Christians struggling to be a child of the kingdom, but also an American citizen in the post millennial framework it makes complete sense that I will stand up for my rights in America because We as Christians are ultimately trying to usher in the kingdom of God.
Hi, Sean! I'm one of those Christians that believe in the Kingdom of God coming to Earth, and I serve in a church (Ekklesia) that preaches that, and I can tell you we are a part of the Ekklesia that DOES believe this is a moment for us to shine! Isaiah 60 all the way. If there is gross darkness covering the people, there should be light rising on the Ekklesia, and there is!
Amen! Amen! I remember being very passionate about fighting against Abortion as a young woman and new Christian. My Pastor told me that I needed to worry about their souls and discouraged me from getting involved.
Recompense……He is a God of Justice and we are the soldiers in His army to bring justice in an unjust world. He gave us armor in the book of Ephesians to wear as we ready ourselves to march into the battlefield. His armor never fails. Where are the soldiers of Christ?
GREAT interview. I used to listen to Metaxis regularly but his show is on really late & I wasn't getting enough sleep!!! He is the epitome of intellectualism, spiritualism (Godly spiritualism), prophetic gifting, blah, blah, blah. Smart guy. A little weird at times, but very able.

@@eugenesanders3094 thank you for your voice of reason. The blind hero worship (Emperor worship actually) of Donald Trump and his racist, classist, Nationalism is something Diedrich Bonhoeffer would be warning us of now! And how QAnon conspiracy theories are widely accepted -above even the Word of God- is ungodly AND dangerous. Biblical illiteracy is rampant... he'd be about trying to correct that. Brilliant and brave Christian men like Bonhoeffer are truly rare. Reading his own writings closely give a much fuller picture of who he was and what he was really about accomplishing. Thanks again Eugene.
Biblical manhood and Courage is what we need now. Yes, agree. Trump brought those characteristics back in our lives. Trump brought back Tradition and Love and Law and Order. He was the first President who stood up the the World Order, to the entities (socialist/communists/media) that are currently controlling our country
President Trump is the first President to prioritize the life of the unborn child yet I just saw a suggestion on John Macarthur's site that President Trump is the Antichrist. What???
Trump has been married 3 times with multiple affairs. That is not an example of biblical manhood. We need better role models for our young men than that.
And I looked, and arose and said to the nobles, to the leaders, and to the rest of the people, “Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, great and awesome, and fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses.” Nehemiah 4:14
Had been reading about D. Bonhoeffer in my youth and in these dark days I often wondered: what would HE say…. And then, I found this video! Thank you very much, most inspiring and helpful!

@@eugenesanders3094 Hi, Eugen, thank you for having taken the time to write! Thank you for the Link! But, I can’t at the moment go deeper into this … (but if somebody says “it utter garbage”… this already puts me on guard )…. I just know that Bonhoeffer was a godly man, he wrestled to know how to act in “such dark times” I know he loved the jews (!) I know he was one of the few Christian to take a stand. I deeply miss such voices today… in our, these dark days today….Christians do not seem to realise what’s going on…. this is very painful to me! That’s why I was happy to see there are Christians who do understand…. God bless you!
@@eugenesanders3094 Hi Eugene, lovely day in Switzerland today, been out for a refreshing walk, been thinking of what you wrote… May I share with you some thought?! The bible begins with Creation, then the Fall, the beginning of History of mankind, but then quite soon….we read how God brings out the Israelites of Slavery … brings them in “a homeland”! God, it seems to me. is the author of nations, because through good laws, good governments (ministers= servants, not LORDS)…. a society can, as we were experiencing in my beautiful country, a society can flourish! A human being needs roots and identity, needs a “home” God gives us all that through “our” nation (s)… where we can express our creativity and uniqueness 🇨🇭😅 THE EVIL ONE…. always tries to imitate Gods good gifts for our destruction….as he did by the NaziRegime….by abusing ….national identity…. (nationality). May I use an example to make my point very clear? Sexuality is a wonderful gift of God, but look what the devil has made of it! Terrible! Hope this is helpful! God bless!
Hi Therese, I hope you didn't misunderstand me. I wasn't critiquing Bonhoeffer, but the book about Bonhoeffer by Eric Metaxas. Here in the USA, Sean Feutch & Eric Metaxas have been vocal supporters of our particular sociopathic megalomaniac (Donald Trump). "Christians" like Feucht & Metaxas have done everything they can to legitimize Trump's wickedness, especially when it comes to peddling Trump's demonic nation-poisoning Big Lie about the election. Bonhoeffer would have been very opposed to Trump, I am convinced of that. And Bonhoeffer would have been opposed to the kind of Nationalism in the USA that masquerades as Christianity. "Christian Nationalism" is a false gospel.
@@eugenesanders3094 Hi, Hope you had a good relaxing Sunday! Sunday, what a gift from God 🌈😊 Ah, my dear, I’m quite chocked… but, I do understand as I had been taken in (against Pres. Trump) too! My conscience struck, hit me…. “You judge somebody without personal careful investigations”…. I then did, and was shocked how much we were lied …. It began with the Ambassador in Switzerland 🇨🇭 then Dave Rubin, etc etc…. Pres. Trump was (is) in the way of the “Deep State”…. to achieve there terrible plans for humanity….read the book of Klaus Schwab, the GREAT RESET…. Then you understand why Trump had to be destroyed and there were told so much lies, so much defamation….. !!!!!! So help us God ….not to permit the evil guided media….to blind us and judge unjustified…. Take care and God bless you ! 🦋
There is a time for peace, and a time for war. A time to speak and a time to remain silent. Great conversation. It’s encouraging to hear sound Christian views. 🙏🇺🇸❤️
Great interview. Great to know I am not alone. I am a patriot. My father’s family fought in the Revolution. My dad and son served in the military. My mother was Eastern European. I love America. I never considered being “kingdom minded.” However, focusing on the Kingdom now is what gets me through. I believe our beloved nation is on the brink of collapse. No, I’m not giving up. I’m just being realistic. Focusing on God’s Kingdom gives me hope even if America falls. Therefore, as with everything, it’s all about balance.
I read "Letters from a Prison" by Bonhoeffer, but I have yet to read Metaxas's book. Someday. But William Wilberforce! He was my pastor's great-great grandfather, so I watched "Amazing Grace," that film that detailed the years Wilberforce spent in ill health while trying to make animal abuse and slavery illegal. He won his case and only days later he died - but his fight went on for 19 years before victory, so the fight does take time. Something to remember when we think fighting for the right should go quickly.
I reas this book and saw the parallels! I love Metaxas praise Jesus! I often feel like Noah yelling about what is happening and no one listens but this is so encouraging
Metaxas is himself a liar and It's absolutely pathetic that he equates wearing a mask with Christian persecution. It's ironic that Bonhoeffer is the topic of this video considering the support that Sean Feucht has given to his beloved orange Fuhrer. Trump is without a doubt a sociopathic megalomaniac with the same severely narcissistic mental derangement that Hitler had. Trump's demonic nation-poisoning Big Lie effectively radicalized a portion of his pseudo-christian cult followers and turned them into domestic terrorists on Jan 6th. And here is this charlatan Metaxas peddling Trump's baseless Big Lie to the brainwashed victims of the MAGA Cult. There is nothing authentically Christian about Trump and his antichrist cult of deception.
Look at that way Sean is so attentive and not passive you can tell he's serious about his faith and not passive,you know just getting to the next thing...and he's not a know it all also great guy...
Amen! Amen! Amen to all you both have said. So needed. May God give us all courage to go forward and fight the good fight.
Eric Metaxas, your confrontation and explanation of the election fraud was brave and insightful. Thank you.
Your voice is very important in America today.
I think every Christian needs to hear this interview! Excellent!!
I admire the courage and faithfulness of both of these men. Father, continue to use Eric and Sean for your glory and the good of America! May I also be found faithful.
Yes May I Also Be Found Faithful Lord

I have twins in gr 9 now, homeschooled. Gonna get Bonhoeffers books!! Thanks for the great idea
May I recommend you add the hiding place and parallel journeys to that book list. The hiding place is the story of Corrie ten Boom. She is the female Bonhoeffer. Parallel journeys is also about Nazi Germany and shows the story of a Hitler youth. Powerful.
Bonhoeffer is a difficult read, just FYI...very much worth it, but very very thorough and involved.
Estheir from lndia (79 yrs)
BONHOEFFER HAS ALWAYS BEEN A GREAT HERO 4 ME...NEED MORE BELIEVERS LIKE HIM TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE LIKE U. BE BLESSED !!!
Me too. Eric's book is situated in my bookshelves so I can see Bonhoeffer's face easily as I pass by. A contemporary hero of mine is Rand Paul. P.S. 79 yrs also.
So often I see Eric in the questioner role and getting information and stories from others. It is so nice to see him on fire for God’s people and the gospel. You can hear his passion in his books, but I always like to hear his opinion on today’s cultural issues.
Marx and Marxism are like the freshly inculturated pandemism part of the Counterreformation. the so-called virus as the next spectre haunting Europe and the world. in the same way basically how Jesus was used. another model to occupy the fantasy of the masses. "the Roman conspiracy to invent Jesus" - the biggest breakthrough in true, authentic conspiracy theory, democratic conspiracy research.
Follow you and happy we have you on our side and keeping us on track. We all pray for you, your family and your Team. Faithful is what we strive to be!!
Praying the church will stand up strong against the evil government. Praying for unity among believers.
I find it tragic that the most church leaders Do NOT understand that they ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MORAL FIBER of their flock.
Victoria Degand yes and it is we the church God holds accountable for the culture, not government
Donald Trump was the most evil man our government has ever been infected by. He is a wicked sociopathic conman to the core.
Good to hear Eric Metaxis again. I thought he had been canceled. Truth tellers are in short supply. “Dare to be a Daniel, dare to stand alone. Dare to have a purpose firm,and dare to make it known .”
SOMEONE SAID HE HAD BEEN CANCELLED, MAYBE AFTER THIS?
Thank you Sean for this interview. I'm a worship leader and following the movement and attending......this book by Eric is one I want to get! I need to understand this more---it's is "lonely" when you stand for conservative Christianity (which is Biblical!) it is lonely. I know this! Praise God for this teaching--I'm pressing in.
I just read his book, BONHOEFFER. It will educate you, inspire you, and make your faith stronger! It will make you more aware. (It's deeply heartbreaking as well)
Break This Cycle Of The SHEEP Being LED TO SLAUGHTER No Questions Asked Almost Total APATHY
Where As TRUTH IS KNOWLEDGE AND KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
You can get the book on audible. The start is slow, but it ends well. I'm a huge fan of Bonhoeffer. He and Corrie ten Boom are my heroes. You must read The Hiding Place! It's my 5th scripture.

It's so interesting, the prophetic timing. I had awareness of Communism and Nazism through my wife's family who lived under the Soviet oppression.

For me, too. California belongs to Jesus.

I have so much respect for Mr. Metaxas.

Thank you for clarifying where we are. I showed up in Seattle last weekend, Shawn. I listen to you Eric daily on KCIS. Keep talking!
In Love Eric Metaxas ❤️❤️❤️❤️. He is so right.. we all need to stand up for the truth...both of you are courageous hero’s.. I live in California and I believe most Christian’s are weak... I need to read Bonhoeffer...I read the book “If you can Keep it”. It’s one of my favorite books...

I loved your books Bonhoeffer and Martin Luther! Attended Revival Rally last night with Pastor Greg Locke and Mike Lindell! It was incredible to stand up for our Lord and our Nation!
Mike Lindell (a deceitful minion of the Trump Cult) & Greg Locke (a cheating wife abuser and hoax-peddler) are not authentic followers of Jesus, but charlatans spreading Trump's nation-poisoning Big lie; a lie which radicalized some of Trump's cult followers and turned them into domestic terrorists on Jan 6th. There absolutely nothing authentically Christian about Donald Trump and his demonic cult of deception.

Loved his Bonhoeffer book.
One of the things I loved the most about living in America, was the amazing patriotism. I cried every time I sang the national anthem. Trump made patriotism ok again!!!!
Good and succinct summary by Metaxas of the necessity to learn from the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and emulate his life in this struggle were in now, and to be willing to give our lives for a noble cause, even to the death. That's what I intend to do.

GREETINGS FROM INDIA.
Last year was shocking to me how many people were deceived and continue to be especially among Christians.
I feel the same way. If anyone should be alert to this, it is Christians. This has always been a spiritual war. From day one.
Me too. Horrified. Most especially by those who worship trump.
@@JayneDurrell ??? Trump is arrogant but he’s for our country and knows that power comes from God! He wasn’t for the ungodly communists we have in office now, who are not for the Americans but for power. I pray you see the Truth of what’s really happening in America right now! This is a huge spiritual war. 🙏
@@michelledavis6293 Trump is a wicked sociopath who continues to spew a demonic Big Lie which has potentially nation-destroying consequences. There is absolutely nothing authentically Christian about Trump and his Cult of Deception. Bonhoeffer would absolutely be opposed to Trump and his antichrist minions with every fiber of his being.
A multitude of Christians have been led astray by the antichrist personality of Donald Trump and his cult of false prophets and minions of deception.

@@eugenesanders3094 I agree with what she specifically says and yes, there are "religious right" who think it is "right to comply with fascism and Nazis" but I do not believe that Metaxis and Feucht are espousing that. They are saying, be a Bonhoeffer in this time of "cancel culture , CRT and BLM", because "you need to see what is happening early". And to that I say, AMEN. Because those who are not seeing the "hidden lie", is deceived.
By the way, I have the english translation of Eberhard Betghe's biography on Dietrich Bonhoeffer and I treasure Bonhoeffer's hook The Cost of Discipleship. A truly classic read.
@@ARenewedmind Well, tragically Metaxis & Feucht both peddle Trump's demonic Big Lie about the election and so they lose all credibility. Feucht has spent the last 2 years exploiting Christianity & the pandemic to advance his own rightwing political agenda. I see no authentic discipleship with these two. Just 2 more charlatan minions of the Trump Cult of deception.
Max Myers experienced the same lack of support by the church as Sean when Max ran for Governor of Pennsylvania. Now PA has a wolf in sheep’s clothing in that seat of influence when they could have had a man of righteousness, justice and liberty.
Fantastic interview!!! Eric and Sean, you're speaking truth in discernment in Jesus name!!! Amen!!!
Love you both. Thank you for this conversation. Fantastic
Thank you for the wonderful encouragement from 2 brothers who love God and their country 🙏
I have missed you Eric! I was so upset when UA-cam shut you down. God bless you. And you too Sean. Saw you at Influence church. 🔥❤
Yes!!! Thank you, brothers!! 👏👏👏God bless you!! So refreshing and encouraging to hear people speak boldly and plainly in Truth who are willing to WALK in it as well! Fam, don't give in and participate with the current tyranny and evil!
Wow, this is an excellent, awesome interview ❤ I'm passing this on. Thanks Sean and Eric (love your books)
JESUS wasn’t nice. HE was kind, gentle, and compassionate, but HE was not nice. Nice demands compromise. No compromise allowed.
I agree. Nice needs to be excluded from our thinking
Yes!! Good word!!
Good point.
Amen!
def not nice according to the so-called political correctness of our day. Jesus always addressed the real issue of the heart and mind...the condition of the person(s) soul he was speaking to. rich young ruler, woman at the well, the pharisees, Peter...Jesus spoke directly to the bottom line...love HIm. God's Word speaks to every issue of life..we must read, listen, meditate on it and let God change our desires to His desires.
Wow...appreciate the history & awakening call! Pray, pray, pray!
"Do something" isn't enough. Let's get specific. Lord, please lead.
Oh my gosh I can't tell you how amazing this video is everyone in America needs to hear it and see it. Thank you so much God bless protects prosper and guide you daily and your families. I got saved in the Jesus people movement in the Lord told me this time was coming and I got to live to see it and I am so proud of you. both.. May God inspire men in America to be like this
I’m more of a post Millennial in my end time view point so when you talk of Christians struggling to be a child of the kingdom, but also an American citizen in the post millennial framework it makes complete sense that I will stand up for my rights in America because We as Christians are ultimately trying to usher in the kingdom of God.
Yes!
You two should do it again ♡
Best interview!!! I’m having my whole family listen. Thanks to you both!!
Wow.. Amazing Video...I agree 💯 to everything....this video needs to go viral....
It is so awesome that you got an interview the famous and legendary ERIC METAXES !!! :)
Hi, Sean! I'm one of those Christians that believe in the Kingdom of God coming to Earth, and I serve in a church (Ekklesia) that preaches that, and I can tell you we are a part of the Ekklesia that DOES believe this is a moment for us to shine! Isaiah 60 all the way. If there is gross darkness covering the people, there should be light rising on the Ekklesia, and there is!
Spare a thought for us here in Australia. Even our own pastors everywhere tell us to shut up and comply!!
True, I’m wondering where the prophets are
Please don't give those Pastors your money!
Seek the Lord. Pray for leaders who will rise up.
Australia, Canada, Ireland... Everywhere they cave in. But America stands
2 of the finest leaders of our time.🤩😎🌟💥🙌💪🏼
Amen! Amen! I remember being very passionate about fighting against Abortion as a young woman and new Christian. My Pastor told me that I needed to worry about their souls and discouraged me from getting involved.
Recompense……He is a God of Justice and we are the soldiers in His army to bring justice in an unjust world. He gave us armor in the book of Ephesians to wear as we ready ourselves to march into the battlefield. His armor never fails. Where are the soldiers of Christ?
The Soldiers of the Cross ✝️ of Christ should be on our jnees!!
...knees...
Exactly
We are here.
GREAT interview. I used to listen to Metaxis regularly but his show is on really late & I wasn't getting enough sleep!!! He is the epitome of intellectualism, spiritualism (Godly spiritualism), prophetic gifting, blah, blah, blah. Smart guy. A little weird at times, but very able.
He has a quirky sense of humor.
Listen to Eric's channel on UA-cam! Then it can be later.

@@eugenesanders3094 thank you for your voice of reason. The blind hero worship (Emperor worship actually) of Donald Trump and his racist, classist, Nationalism is something Diedrich Bonhoeffer would be warning us of now! And how QAnon conspiracy theories are widely accepted -above even the Word of God- is ungodly AND dangerous. Biblical illiteracy is rampant... he'd be about trying to correct that. Brilliant and brave Christian men like Bonhoeffer are truly rare. Reading his own writings closely give a much fuller picture of who he was and what he was really about accomplishing. Thanks again Eugene.
Thank you so much for casting these issues succinctly.
This is an incredible interview. I need to read Bonhoeffer. Eric is a prophetic voice and probably the wisest I have heard.
It's more than courage.... it's obedience.
Biblical manhood and Courage is what we need now. Yes, agree. Trump brought those characteristics back in our lives. Trump brought back Tradition and Love and Law and Order. He was the first President who stood up the the World Order, to the entities (socialist/communists/media) that are currently controlling our country
Yes and Trump publicly spoke of we all need help from “ The Boss” “Jesus Christ Who Is way more famous” than him. His words paraphrased!🙏🙌💕🇺🇸🇮🇱
President Trump is the first President to prioritize the life of the unborn child yet I just saw a suggestion on John Macarthur's site that President Trump is the Antichrist. What???
"Manhood." Yes we have the chaotic feminist spirit running the country.
Trump has been married 3 times with multiple affairs. That is not an example of biblical manhood. We need better role models for our young men than that.
Ann Bruce Pineda the kindest thing to say is pray for that brother John M. because that statement is ridiculous
And I looked, and arose and said to the nobles, to the leaders, and to the
rest of the people, “Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, great
and awesome, and fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters,
your wives, and your houses.” Nehemiah 4:14
Had been reading about D. Bonhoeffer in my youth and in these dark days I often wondered: what would HE say…. And then, I found this video! Thank you very much, most inspiring and helpful!

@@eugenesanders3094 Hi, Eugen, thank you for having taken the time to write! Thank you for the Link!
But, I can’t at the moment go deeper into this …
(but if somebody says “it utter garbage”… this already puts me on guard )….
I just know that Bonhoeffer was a godly man, he wrestled to know how to act in “such dark times” I know he loved the jews (!) I know he was one of the few Christian to take a stand.
I deeply miss such voices today… in our, these dark days today….Christians do not seem to realise what’s going on…. this is very painful to me! That’s why I was happy to see there are Christians who do understand….
God bless you!
@@eugenesanders3094 Hi Eugene, lovely day in Switzerland today, been out for a refreshing walk, been thinking of what you wrote…
May I share with you some thought?!
The bible begins with Creation, then the Fall, the beginning of History of mankind, but then quite soon….we read how God brings out the Israelites of Slavery … brings them in “a homeland”!
God, it seems to me. is the author of nations, because through good laws, good governments (ministers= servants, not LORDS)…. a society can, as we were experiencing in my beautiful country, a society can flourish!
A human being needs roots and identity, needs a “home” God gives us all that through “our” nation (s)… where we can express our creativity and uniqueness 🇨🇭😅
THE EVIL ONE…. always tries to imitate Gods good gifts for our destruction….as he did by the NaziRegime….by abusing ….national identity…. (nationality).
May I use an example to make my point very clear? Sexuality is a wonderful gift of God, but look what the devil has made of it! Terrible!
Hope this is helpful! God bless!
Hi Therese, I hope you didn't misunderstand me. I wasn't critiquing Bonhoeffer, but the book about Bonhoeffer by Eric Metaxas. Here in the USA, Sean Feutch & Eric Metaxas have been vocal supporters of our particular sociopathic megalomaniac (Donald Trump). "Christians" like Feucht & Metaxas have done everything they can to legitimize Trump's wickedness, especially when it comes to peddling Trump's demonic nation-poisoning Big Lie about the election. Bonhoeffer would have been very opposed to Trump, I am convinced of that. And Bonhoeffer would have been opposed to the kind of Nationalism in the USA that masquerades as Christianity. "Christian Nationalism" is a false gospel.
@@eugenesanders3094 Hi, Hope you had a good relaxing Sunday! Sunday, what a gift from God 🌈😊
Ah, my dear, I’m quite chocked… but, I do understand as I had been taken in (against Pres. Trump) too!
My conscience struck, hit me…. “You judge somebody without personal careful investigations”….
I then did, and was shocked how much we were lied ….
It began with the Ambassador in Switzerland 🇨🇭 then Dave Rubin, etc etc….
Pres. Trump was (is) in the way of the “Deep State”…. to achieve there terrible plans for humanity….read the book of Klaus Schwab, the GREAT RESET…. Then you understand why Trump had to be destroyed and there were told so much lies, so much defamation….. !!!!!!
So help us God ….not to permit the evil guided media….to blind us and judge unjustified….
Take care and God bless you ! 🦋
There is a time for peace, and a time for war. A time to speak and a time to remain silent. Great conversation. It’s encouraging to hear sound Christian views. 🙏🇺🇸❤️
Great interview. Great to know I am not alone.
I am a patriot. My father’s family fought in the Revolution. My dad and son served in the military. My mother was Eastern European. I love America. I never considered being “kingdom minded.”
However, focusing on the Kingdom now is what gets me through. I believe our beloved nation is on the brink of collapse. No, I’m not giving up. I’m just being realistic.
Focusing on God’s Kingdom gives me hope even if America falls. Therefore, as with everything, it’s all about balance.
Ask that God's kingdom come, that His will be done on earth as in heaven.
Yes! We are blessed....to be a blessing. Amen.
Sean, you were so brave - thank you and bless you
I wish you were coming up to Central New York!
Love Eric Metaxas and Sean Feucht. My son read Eric's book on Martin Luther
I read "Letters from a Prison" by Bonhoeffer, but I have yet to read Metaxas's book. Someday. But William Wilberforce! He was my pastor's great-great grandfather, so I watched "Amazing Grace," that film that detailed the years Wilberforce spent in ill health while trying to make animal abuse and slavery illegal. He won his case and only days later he died - but his fight went on for 19 years before victory, so the fight does take time. Something to remember when we think fighting for the right should go quickly.
Eric Metaxas is speaking in the Holy Spirit ; every word is truth!
Thank you brother for standing up and speaking boldly.
I own this book and it changed my life. And I can relate to Sean- What happened to the Pentecostals? Psalm 91 people!!!!!
I reas this book and saw the parallels! I love Metaxas praise Jesus! I often feel like Noah yelling about what is happening and no one listens but this is so encouraging
"There's truth in every lie" -Metaxas
That's how deception works.
There has to be for people to be live the lie.
Metaxas is himself a liar and It's absolutely pathetic that he equates wearing a mask with Christian persecution. It's ironic that Bonhoeffer is the topic of this video considering the support that Sean Feucht has given to his beloved orange Fuhrer. Trump is without a doubt a sociopathic megalomaniac with the same severely narcissistic mental derangement that Hitler had. Trump's demonic nation-poisoning Big Lie effectively radicalized a portion of his pseudo-christian cult followers and turned them into domestic terrorists on Jan 6th. And here is this charlatan Metaxas peddling Trump's baseless Big Lie to the brainwashed victims of the MAGA Cult. There is nothing authentically Christian about Trump and his antichrist cult of deception.
Look at that way Sean is so attentive and not passive you can tell he's serious about his faith and not passive,you know just getting to the next thing...and he's not a know it all also great guy...
