ERIC METAXAS | Religionless Christianity (Ep. 658)

In this episode, we welcome Eric Metaxas back to the show. He is a #1 NYT bestselling author, speaker, and conservative radio host. He has written biographies of Christian giants like William Wilberforce, Martin Luther, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and must-reads like Is Atheism Dead?, Letter to the American Church, and his newest book Religionless Christianity: God’s Answer to Evil. In this interview, we discuss why he feels that America is in her third existential crisis, how our current moment correlates to what we saw with the rise of the Nazi party in the 1930s in Germany, what would have happened had more pastors risen up to defy Adolf Hitler, why Bonhoeffer talked about “Religionless Christianity”, the problem with pastors never finding a hill worth dying on, how we will all eventually have to decide if we are going to “burn the boats”, how the “seeker sensitive” church movement has weakened the church overall in America, the next book he is currently working on that does not have an explicitly Christian angle, and much more. Let’s get into it…  Episode notes and links HERE. Donate to support our mission of equipping men to push back darkness. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
