With the midterm elections happening in the U.S., we’ve seen a rise in both hyperbolic political rhetoric and political violence. There’s evidence that fewer Christians are willing to denounce the use of armed conflict to achieve political goals, with some even arguing America was founded on it. Are they right? Is there a Christian case for political violence? Then, Skye interviews Joe Leininger, a Christian business leader about his journey from believing God only cared about ministry to a much wider vision of his work in the world. Leininger’s new book, “Dirt Clods and Donkeys: An experiment in mentoring that changed lives,” explores how he has helped other Christians in the marketplace develop a more integrated faith. Also this week—Indiana police pursue Pikachu, don’t kiss camels in Qatar, and Kaitlyn explains why she’s a nerd but not a geek.

Phil, Thank you so much for the recommendation of THE STRAIGHT STORY. I'm so glad I was able to stream it. Not something I would have expected from David Lynch. But, I'm now curious about the metastory of his directing it.
War is political violence. Is it logical to be in favor of political violence between people of different nations, but against political violence within a nation? Shouldn't we be against both kinds of political violence?

Its about time this issue was addressed. What I call the 'Christian Caste System' has caused a lot of people to get the wrong idea. I became a Chistian in the mid-70s with a college group, and was told 'you aren't supposed to ask God if you're called to full time Christian job, you have to ask if you have permission not to'.
