S15 EP178: Hour 2 - Onward Christian Soldiers
Summary
Eric Erickson discusses the need for Christians to engage in politics while holding both parties accountable for corruption and moral failures, using the book of Lamentations to illustrate the consequences of societal decay. He criticizes the Republican Party for prioritizing loyalty over electability and argues that voters should not simply choose the "lesser evil" when candidates exhibit unrepentant sin. The episode also covers the Atlanta Braves' recent victory and reports on a mysterious pneumonia outbreak in Siberia following the loss of a Russian saint's remains.
