Hope for US Evangelicals Still?


This is one of the best interviews of a Christian I've heard on mainstream media (maybe the best one), since Trump was voted into office nearly four years ago. Rev. Rob Schenck speaks with clarity regarding what is wrong with the "white evangelical" alliance with Trump's administration. 

Back in February of 2016, nine months before Trump would be elected to office, I wrote here as to why I was deflated, but not entirely surprised in light of the history of civic idolatry among US Christians, at the growing support among US Christians for Donald Trump.

In this very good interview by Michel Martin of NPR, Christiane Amanpour "sets the table," and Rob Schenck speaks with a kind of clarity that gives me hope that the evangelical church in the US can still rise from the ashes of its own ruins.

Wow, thank you so much for sharing that interview, Mike. Stefan and I have really struggled to watch what has been happening in the US for the last four years. This man echoed things I've been trying to communicate with others for years, now.
