INAUGURATION AGITATION: Has America Lost Her Way?

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we dive deep into a thought-provoking exploration of societal and spiritual decline, beginning with a powerful passage from Isaiah 1:21-23. The prophet's lamentation over a "faithful city" turned into a "prostitute" offers a striking parallel to America's own struggles with justice, righteousness, and corruption. How have we gone from a society built on ideals of justice to one where "rulers are rebels" and “partners with thieves”?Join us for a conversation that connects ancient wisdom with modern-day struggles and challenges us to reflect on where we’ve gone wrong—and how we might find our way back.GET FURTHER SUPPORT FROM THE HOST: https://www.joannawhaley.com/supportJOIN THE PATREON COMMUNITY: https://patreon.com/JoannaWhaleyMERCH FROM THE HOST: https://www.joannawhaley.com/storeREFERENCES: Holy Misogyny: Why the Sex and Gender Conflicts in the Early Church Still Matter.
