What is the greatest threat facing Christianity in the U.S. today? Socialism? Cancel culture? Wokeness? Not according to Dr. Russell Moore. He says it's "means-to-an-end-Christianity" which seeks to use Christ to achieve some other goal. This, he argues, is what's fueling everything from Christian nationalism to the cover up of sexual abuse in churches and ministries. Don't miss his wide-ranging conversation with Skye. Also this week, the podcast crew discusses the "Seven Mountain Mandate" behind so many of the cultural and political wars Christians are fighting today, and why it's more about seizing power than serving Christ. How do we convince evangelicals to abandon conspiracy theories and get the Covid vaccine? Plus, Phil's tired of hard butter.
