“For context to this review: I was raised in a small, 6k person southern Indiana farm town, one town away from where John Cougar Mellencamp was born. The little Baptist church I went to was in the middle of a cornfield on my great grandparents’ property, and was incorporated in 1852. We were lucky to have 50 people on a Sunday and i never saw a single person of color enter in the 20 years I went (from birth until mid-way through college).
The parishioners at that little church are more progressive than this woman.
This is not the Christianity that God wants us to follow. We are to love one another and share His word in kindness and truth—sometimes a hard truth, but never a hateful truth. God loved the sick and the poor, he loved the prostitutes and he loved the heretics. He asks that we bring others to Christ through love, compassion, and empathy, not fear-mongering, conspiracies and hatred.
This young woman needs to go out in the world and meet a neighbor who might not look like her and learn a little empathy and about the love God has for us.
If what I’ve said here (about the love and grace of God) sounds like the Christianity you know, I would pass on this podcast and look elsewhere.”
