REPLAY | Churches: Beware of the 'After Party' Trojan Horse | Guest: Megan Basham

And today our God is convenience or career or, you know,

Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey
REPLAY | Churches: Beware of the 'After Party' Trojan Horse | Guest: Megan Basham

self-actualization or however you want to phrase that, it is the God of self.

Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey
REPLAY | Churches: Beware of the 'After Party' Trojan Horse | Guest: Megan Basham

It is sacrificing to your selfishness.

And so at no point in this curriculum did they consider the sinful heart that might lead people to back sinful, wicked policies.

And I thought, if you are not going to confront that, then I don't think you have any sort of Bible study curriculum that is really grounded in God's word that understands the depravity of man and

and how that depravity leads us to pursue things that are really harmful to our neighbors and harmful to us.

REPLAY | Churches: Beware of the 'After Party' Trojan Horse | Guest: Megan Basham

Yeah, yeah.

And, you know, it's funny because I agree with you that I go, I am not judging anyone's heart on their voting record.

Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey
REPLAY | Churches: Beware of the 'After Party' Trojan Horse | Guest: Megan Basham

But at the same time, I think if you as a Christian are backing, let's say, a set of policies, because when you choose a candidate, you are choosing a set of policies.

Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey
REPLAY | Churches: Beware of the 'After Party' Trojan Horse | Guest: Megan Basham

And if the set of policies you are choosing is a platform that says we are full bore for sexual immorality and gender confusion and murdering babies to sacrifice to the God of convenience.

I do think that, you know, certainly your discernment is off and I question your spiritual maturity.

Um, you know, people want to get into the Trump issue a lot.

And when you read through Tim Alberta's book, which kicked this whole thing off, he is this sort of reason diatra for everything.

Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey
REPLAY | Churches: Beware of the 'After Party' Trojan Horse | Guest: Megan Basham

I mean, he is the ultimate for how we're deciding whether or not people are Christians.

Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey
REPLAY | Churches: Beware of the 'After Party' Trojan Horse | Guest: Megan Basham

And I go, if you're looking at that as a set of policies, which is how I tend to view politics, um,

Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey
REPLAY | Churches: Beware of the 'After Party' Trojan Horse | Guest: Megan Basham

at each stage of the political process, I am choosing what I think is the best set of policies.

Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey
REPLAY | Churches: Beware of the 'After Party' Trojan Horse | Guest: Megan Basham

So if you are looking at that and you are saying, and they really have, that there is something sick and diseased in the hearts of Christian Trump supporters, I would go, what sort of disease do you think is in your heart as a Christian or what lack of discernment, what blind spots

Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey
REPLAY | Churches: Beware of the 'After Party' Trojan Horse | Guest: Megan Basham

if you are choosing a set of policies that is diametrically opposed to God's law, which is not to say that, you know, Republicans are great.

And because to me, they are very deficient in many ways.

Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey
REPLAY | Churches: Beware of the 'After Party' Trojan Horse | Guest: Megan Basham

Yeah, totally.
