3.2 – Trumping the Truth

by Leave a Comment

Christians aren’t supposed to lie, but we seem to be more than accepting of leaders who do. Having a differing opinion is right and fine, but when do we move past that into lies, into refusing to listen to truth because it disagrees with us? In a world supposedly brimming with “fake news,” where can we find authoritative information about what’s actually going on?

Right here, for starters.

What is going on with the Russians and President Trump? A lot actually. So much that we can’t even fit it all in one episode, but at least we tried.

2.6 – No Centralizing Theme

Sorry for the lateness of this release, but as this is one of our longest episodes, we think you’ll forgive us. But then again, given that we’re about to dive into some post-election, post-traumatic analysis, maybe you won’t.

1.24 – Picking a Biblical Candidate

by Leave a Comment

Phil and Kevon are so sorry that they have been gone for so long. They will be back in the studio soon. Until they do, here’s some audio from a class Phil taught at his church. The class was based upon Tony Evan’s book How Should Christians Votes?, which we’ve mentioned several times before.

We hope you enjoy this “substitute” episode and will help us by spreading the word as The Ignorance of Church and State gears up for Season 2.

We’re also sorry about the audio from this episode. There was an error with the microphone. It was a user error. Phil was the user.
