712: A New Kind of Christian Fundamentalism plus Bob Goff
The Holy Post
How Theology Shaped Pro-Israel Politics
Skye explains how Cold War-era theology fused prophecy and geopolitics to produce strong evangelical Israel support.
In the past, Christian fundamentalism was defined by a literal reading of the Bible and conservative social values. They believed in things like a seven-day creation, the rapture, prophecies about the return of Jesus, and supporting the state of Israel. But data shows that fewer evangelicals hold these beliefs, but that doesn't mean fundamentalism is going away. Skye and Kaitlyn are joined by Mike Erre to discuss the changing definition of Christian fundamentalism in America, and why the older variety may have been better. Then Bob Goff talks about his new video project through the Holy Land called "A Journey with Jesus," and how he sustains his joy in these angry times. Also this week—why is Gen Z drinking less alcohol?
