The Gospel & Is Trump the New Hitler?

And/or Our Very Own Picture of Dorian Gray?He is the most polarizing figure of my lifetime. Some people love Him. Some people would rather hear nails on a chalkboard than his name spoken in public. And for years, we have heard Him being compared to Hitler, evil dictator and murderer of millions. Obviously it’s Donald Trump. Last week, while I was on spring break with my family, Trump decided that if he hadn’t already pissed you off, he was going to make sure he did so.In a powerful few minutes, Trump managed to get much of his base to turn on him by disrespecting the Pope, depicting himself and Jesus, and then claiming he thought it was a picture of him as a doctor (lol). So. Let’s talk about it because I have something to say and I believe it’s different from what you have already heard. There is something to the Hitler comparison, but it isn’t what you think. There is Trump the man with is own massive flaws.But then, there is the collective response to Trump. And that is where I believe there is room for conversation and for the Gospel to break in and challenge us. Trump is who He is. We can’t control Him. But we can’t control ourselves and we can decide what kind of society we want to live it. So let’s do that together. No matter where you stand on this matter, I hope you will listen thoughtfully and respond accordingly because honestly, I’m not a fighter but this is an important conversation. Also in this episode…Good news.People are coming into the Catholic Church at the highest rate in my life time!Miley Cyrus is sober, clothed, and in her right mind!And Perez Hilton met God. If you want to dive into my other work you can purchase my book Rekindled, or one of my Bible Studies.Also, if you need a refresher on the Gospel message, check out the first episode of this podcast.Did this episode speak to you?
