611: Trump’s Bible, Biden’s Easter, and Climate Change for Christians with Katharine Hayhoe
Listen now
Description
The newest Holy Post team member, Esau McCaulley, joins Phil and Skye to discuss two stories that caused outrage from both ends of the political spectrum during Holy Week. Trump is selling an American flag-wrapped Bible, and the Biden administration honored “Transgender Visibility Day” on Easter. And why are Catholic Charities being attacked for helping immigrants? Then Skye talks to atmospheric scientist Katharine Hayhoe about how her evangelical faith led her to become a climate scientist. She says combating global warming is part of our call to love our neighbors and care for the least of these. Plus, an “emerging behavior” on Twitch grabs Phil’s attention.   Holy Post Plus Bonus Interview https://www.patreon.com/posts/101580815/   0:00 - Sponsor - Richmont Graduate University - Join a Christian mental health counseling program!
