(And Other Bad Ideas) | Weird Hill to Die On Ep. 8","description":"What do you get when theology and politics share a toothbrush? A whole lot of awkward\u2014and a serious case of identity crisis in the Church. In this spicy episode of Weird Hill to Die On, Adam, Phoenix, and MJ wade into the murky waters of political tribalism, asking why so many Christians seem more devoted to party platforms than to the kingdom of God. We wrestle with questions like: Can you vote a certain way and still be a Christian? Is your church a place of worship or a political rally? Why does it feel like political allegiance has become the new test of orthodoxy? This isn\u2019t a hit piece on the left or right\u2014it\u2019s a come-to-Jesus moment (literally) about how we\u2019ve conflated our theology with our ideologies. From MJ\u2019s insights on civil religion to Phoenix\u2019s New Zealand outsider take on American partisanship to Adam\u2019s experiences of racial tension in the church, we\u2019re diving deep\u2014and keeping it real. If you\u2019ve ever felt politically homeless, spiritually exhausted, or just annoyed that your pastor quotes cable news more than Scripture, this episode is for you. Key Topics Discussed:  Political tribalism in the Church. The difference between kingdom allegiance and party loyalty. The legacy of the Moral Majority and civil religion in America. Racial justice, historical ignorance, and cross-cultural empathy. Christian nationalism vs. Christian witness. Why media algorithms make everything worse. How to disagree without demonizing.&amp;nbsp;  Follow Weird Hill:  Instagram: @weirdhillshow Facebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/weirdhillshow Website: https:\/\/weirdhillshow.com Spotify: https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/weirdhillspotify  \ud83c\udfb5Music licensing credit:  Music licensed through Envato Elements Track: &quot;This is Funky&quot; Artist: Tonydrumer License ID: 497VL2ZNJX  ","author_name":"Weird Hill to Die On","author_url":"https:\/\/sites.libsyn.com\/574395","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/37047130\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/37047130"}
