Email us: [email protected] most people think about Christians, or Christianity in a broader context, they rarely think about how loving of a group they are. Why is that? Our guest this week might have a few ideas.  Pastor Greg Boyd is one of those guests that after you finish speaking with you are left with no other response than just to love your neighbor. In 2004, he pastored a large church that was quite upset he wasn't more supportive of the Republican candidate and ideology of the time. As a result, he lost over 1,000 congregants and in 2007 wrote a book called, "Myth of a Christian Nation".  The book is a simple reminder for Christians about the power of love, especially when applied to the Political Arena.
