"Nowadays, Caesar is Christian. Very Christian. Intimidatingly Christian." - @TaylorMatthewD Such a powerful & thought-provoking speech here. Thanks to @rickpidcock for sharing it.
For tonight's episode, I asked Matthew D. Taylor if I could share his sermon from last week at Candler School of Theology. He's speaking to a group of pastors about how to preach the gospel when the church has been overtaken with Christian nationalism. https://t.co/HBzUdOuy0d
