The Insurrection of January Sixth
Matt, Derek, and Alastair attempt to make some theological sense out of the mess of the events on January 6th.
For the first episode of 2021, Matt, Derek, and Alastair apply their expertise and experience to thinking theologically about the pro-Trump protest that turned into an attack on the U.S. Capitol. Is this the fruit of ejecting God from our public life? Is it possible to seek power in good faith? How should the church shepherd their congregations in this chaos?
