Nonviolence in 2025: Brave or Naïve?

Send us Fan MailIs love powerful enough for our times? Markus and Antwuan wrestle with a tough question: Do Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s nonviolent principles still work in today’s cutthroat political climate? Or has the game changed so much that power plays and “fighting fire with fire” are the only options left?From gerrymandering in Texas to global examples of resistance, they dig deep into whether Jesus’s call to love your enemies is practical wisdom for society, or just idealistic words for Sunday school.
