594: How Fear & Greed Corrupted American Evangelicalism with Tim Alberta

The Holy Post - Podcast készítő Phil Vischer - Szerdák

Conspiracy theories, political idolatry, church divisions, and pastoral burnout. How do we explain what’s happened to the evangelical movement in America? Tim Alberta is a political journalist and staff writer for The Atlantic. His new book, “The Power, the Glory, and the Kingdom,” looks at how evangelicalism lost its way. As an evangelical himself, Alberta says fear and greed created the conditions for extremism to take over the movement. Also this week, surprising data after the Dobbs decision shows birthrates are up in states that banned abortion, but overall abortion rates nationwide are also higher. And should we use ChatGPT to interpret the Bible? Kaitlyn’s new article says probably not.   Holy Post Plus Extended Tim Alberta Interview https://www.patreon.com/posts/94152371 0:00 - Intro   1:25 - Show starts   2:13 - Theme Song   2:35 - Sponsor - Faithful Counseling - Get 10% off your first month at www.FaithfulCounseling.com/HOLYPOST   3:45 - Are abortion rates increasing or decreasing    26:25 - Should AI interpret Scripture   48:13 - Sponsor - Sundays Dog Food - Get 35% off your first order of Sundays.
