A conversation has erupted in Evangelical (Twitter) circles about elites and their willingness to cozy up to worldly powers. But who counts as “elite,” and to which worldly powers are they cozying up? (The answers tend to change depending on who’s doing the accusing!)
Alastair, Matt, and Derek “give the people what they want” and take up this conversation, seeking to pick apart confusing threads and lower the temperature of the argument. Will they succeed or end up disagreeing with each other? (Regular listeners will expect a bit of both.) And although Andrew couldn’t make it this week, we do get the consolation prize of an Andrew impression from Derek.
