Ep 232 - Grifting in the Name of God: When Clickbait Replaces the Great Commission

Preamble: Who doesn't like free stickers? I offer some if you find the spot and follow the directions. BUT you're gonna have to slog a decent way through the episode to find it...if you do, message us and I'll get you what you deserve ;-) 

Oh look, another internet theologian has figured out how to solve America’s deepest cultural wounds, and surprise! It involves a shocking amount of state-sponsored executions and zero actual Gospel. In this episode, the guys welcome long-time friend in ministry Nathan McCargo to dissect a recent viral video where Joel Webbon asks "How can America best love Blacks?" and somehow lands on "generous use of the death penalty" for everything from murder to horse thievery. Because nothing says neighborly love quite like a statist power-trip disguised as reformed theology.

The team does the unthinkable—actually looking up the data—and shocks absolutely no one by discovering that Webbon’s confident claims about "unbiased white jurors" are about as real as a peaceful internet debate. From mocking the lazy trope that "the Boomers just need to die off" to pointing out how easily clickbait grifting replaces the Great Commission, this conversation cuts through the haughty, faux-warrior vibes to expose an ideology that's radically unbiblical.

Tune in for a deadpan breakdown of why you can't build a Christian culture by out-statist-ing the state, why the power of the Gospel is severely underestimated, and why your favorite online polemicist might just be trying to pay his streaming bills.
