The Issue with Evangelicals for Fauci

In this episode of Conversations That Matter, Jon Harris revisits the COVID era through the lens of Anthony Fauci’s public statements and congressional testimony—including his decision to plead the Fifth. The discussion examines how many evangelical leaders and institutions responded at the time, the frequent use of Romans 13 and “love your neighbor” arguments, and which churches and pastors actually stood firm.Harris shares the key lessons he believes Christians should take from 2020–2021: good theology is only proven under pressure, the importance of thinking independently, and the value of leaders who refuse to bend conviction for social approval. The episode also covers current cultural observations on immigration and the persecution of Christians in Nigeria, the surprising success of country artist Ella Langley, recent Trump administration actions, listener questions, and a clear call to maintain integrity regardless of the cultural winds.00:00 Fauci Clips Montage02:00 Welcome & Why This Still Matters05:50 What Evangelical Leaders Said About Fauci10:00 Lessons from COVID: Theology Meets Reality13:50 Churches That Stayed Open – The Real Heroes18:00 Elites, Platforms & Parachurch Failures21:00 Thinking for Yourself & Finding Courage59:00 Immigration, Nigeria & Western Democracies1:02:30 Ella Langley’s Chart Success1:09:00 Trump Administration Updates1:10:30 Listener Questions & Personal Notes1:16:30 Final Takeaways from COVID1:21:00 Closing & ETP CoffeeSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
