For God and Country: Love Your Enemy in a Divided World | Joel Mooneyhan, Global Methodist Minister
In this Sunday devotional episode of The Jenny Beth Show, Global Methodist Minister Joel Mooneyhan joins Jenny Beth Martin to unpack one of Jesus’ most challenging teachings — the command to love your neighbor, even when that neighbor feels like an enemy. Through the parable of the Good Samaritan, Joel reveals how Christ calls us beyond politics, pride, and division to a higher standard of grace and compassion. Together, they discuss what true forgiveness looks like in today’s divided America and how believers can live out Christ’s renewal in a broken world.

Show Notes
In this Sunday’s devotional edition of The Jenny Beth Show, Jenny Beth Martin is joined once again by her brother, Joel Mooneyhan, a Global Methodist Minister, for a powerful reflection on one of Jesus’ most well-known and challenging parables — The Good Samaritan.
Together, they explore what it truly means to love your neighbor in a world filled with political division, anger, and pride. Joel explains how the parable forces us to confront our own biases and rethink how we treat others — not just those who agree with us, but those we might see as opponents. Jenny Beth shares personal insight from her own experiences in political life, discussing the importance of compassion, humility, and forgiveness — even when it’s hard.
The conversation also touches on recent public moments of faith and forgiveness — including responses to tragedy, leadership, and grace under pressure — reminding us that Christ’s call to love is not theoretical, but transformational.
Whether you’re struggling with forgiveness, navigating cultural conflict, or simply looking for encouragement to live out your faith in daily life, this episode will challenge and inspire you to see others the way Christ does.
