"Who Are God's Chosen People?" (Bradley Onishi and Daniel Miller; Straight White American Jesus podcast) It's In the Code #203

Theologically conservative Christians believe apparently contradictory things about Judaism and Jewish people. 

On the one hand, they will often describe Jewish people as being “the people of God.” On the other hand, they typically hold that, as non-Christians, Jewish people are condemned to go to hell when they die. 

How do these attitudes fit together? Is it possible to hold them together consistently? What do the answers to these questions tell us about conservative Christians’ understandings of Judaism and Jewish identity?

Freedom 250’s fair on National Mall highlights conservative groups - POLITICO

Some Democrats have charged that Trump has taken the bipartisanship out of the monumental anniversary. Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.) in February said that the administration was working to “hijack the country’s 250th anniversary and sell access, hide his donors and rewrite history.” Also in February, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) launched a probe into Freedom 250’s fundraising practices...

MAGA Is Discovering the Downsides of X - POLITICO

In a recent op-ed for The Wall Street Journal, Ohio gubernatorial hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy announced his plans to log off of X, citing its “warped projection of reality.” And Ramaswamy isn’t alone in heading for the digital exits.

“A Man Like God” (Bradley Onishi and Daniel Miller; Straight White American Jesus podcast) It’s in the Code ep 171

Josh Hawley builds his account on masculinity and manhood on the idea that men are created in God’s image and, as such, are his representatives on earth. 

But what is Hawley’s God like? What kind of God does Hawley worship? Who is this God that is the pattern for human manhood? 

In this episode, Dan argues that Hawley’s God’s insecurity drives him to exercise his power to dominate others. Check out the episode to hear why.
