Listen "Charlie Kirk, Resentment Narratives, and Misunderstanding Secularism"
Episode Synopsis
The death of Charlie Kirk leaves us at a fork in the road. Some have said his death means war. Some have even celebrated his death. Obviously neither of these are options for followers of Jesus, but how do we navigate a path forward? Craig and Luke then discuss how politics in America is built on resentment narratives, stories of injury. For those on the right secularism causes an injury. Secularism is trying to take God out of the public space. On the left the Christian right causes the injury. The Christian right is not worried about love and equality but has made peace with late capitalism. Craig and Luke discuss being a faithful presence in the midst of resentment narratives.We spend most of the time talking about what secularism isn't. Craig makes a case that secularism isn't a "God free space." (Think Christians music vs. secular music) When we define secularism that way the most logical solution is to put God back in those spaces. This works against faithful presence and gives energy to a culture war.
