Politics with Brian & James: Minnesota, Maduro, and the Moral Failure of Christian Leaders

from Faithful Dissent · host James Farlow

Send us Fan Mail In this week’s episode of Faithful Dissent, we run through the crazy start to 2026. We talk through the ICE shooting in Minnesota, Gunboat diplomacy in Latin America and its broader implications, and a larger pattern we keep bumping up against: how Christian leaders across contexts sometimes fall short of the moral clarity they’re called to embody. It's not been an easy start to the New Year, but we're here to talk it out with each other and we're glad you're hanging out with us on the ride.
