626: Political Violence & the Narrow Path with Rich Villodas

On Saturday, Donald Trump narrowly survived an assassin’s bullet. Will this begin to turn down the dehumanizing and apocalyptic rhetoric in our politics, or will it only add fuel for conspiracy theories and extremists? Rich Villodas is back to talk about his new book on the Sermon on the Mount—“The Narrow Path.” He says obeying the sermon “is not how we achieve salvation; it's how we demonstrate it.” And the fact that so few Christians seem to take Jesus’ commands seriously calls their salvation into question. Also this week, Phil reports from “Med City” and Kaitlyn introduces us to Persian ice cream.   Holy Post Plus Bonus Interview https://www.patreon.com/posts/108262421/   0:00 - Go to https://biologos.org/integrate and use code SUMMER50 to get 50% off your order.
