In this thought-provoking episode of Why God Why?, we explore the complex intersection of faith and politics with our esteemed guest, Dr. Russell Moore. Renowned for his tenure at the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission and his insightful contributions to major publications, Dr. Moore brings a wealth of experience and a pastoral heart to the table. Join us as we tackle the pressing question: Why does it seem Christianity has been co-opted by politics?
Our hosts, Peter Englert and producer Nathan Yoder, delve deep into the credibility crisis facing Christianity today. Dr. Moore shares his personal journey, reflecting on his decision to leave the Southern Baptist Convention and offering guidance to those wrestling with their place within the church. We discuss the dangers of Christian nationalism, the loss of authentic religious and political engagement, and the hope that can be found in the midst of disillusionment.
As we navigate through topics like faith, identity, authority, integrity, and stability, Dr. Moore challenges listeners to recognize the opportunities for growth that come with acknowledging the church's shortcomings. He also provides a nuanced understanding of patriotism versus nationalism, and how we can love our country without idolizing it.
Don't miss this episode's candid and compassionate conversation, which not only diagnoses the issues but also points us toward a more grounded and hopeful path forward. Whether you're deconstructing, doubting, or simply seeking clarity, this episode offers a beacon of light in a time of political and religious turmoil.
