48: How Rapture Theology Influenced The Guadalupe River Flood Response
from The Progressive Christians Podcast · host The Progressive Christians
If you thought the world was ending, how would you spend the last days of your life? While this may be a theoretical question that many of us can use to help discern what we believe are the most essential things in our lives, it is also a very pragmatic question for others. In this episode, we discuss how the eschatological belief in the Rapture has informed our governments' response to the Guadalupe River flood and how they are recruiting people to join ICE. The Progressive Christians Podcast is a ministry of The Loft, a worship community of Westwood United Methodist Church.
