God & Country: April 28, 6:30 PM
What happens when a faith built on love, sacrifice, and forgiveness grows political tentacles, conflating power, money, and belief into hyper-nationalism? From director Dan Partland and producer Rob Reiner, GOD & COUNTRY looks at the implications of Christian Nationalism and how it distorts not only our constitutional republic, but Christianity itself.

Christians SUCK at Forgiveness
Reality is most people do. Central to the Christian faith is a prayer that Jesus taught his disciples to say: “Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us…” Christians are to be a forgiving people; that is our identity to embrace. So why do we suck at it? In this episode we address the harmful myths of forgiveness and sketch out a path for better conceptions of forgiving. Pastor John has found the work of Dr.Chanequa Walker-Barnes, professor of practical theology and pastoral care at Columbia Theological Seminary very helpful along with the work of Dr. Everett Washington and his REACH model on forgiveness. Both talk about forgiveness as an “internal process” – and this will be a light bulb moment. Be sure to subscribe to Walker-Barnes’ substack No Trifling Matter and Washington’s REACH model on forgiveness.
