Holiday Potpourri & Christian Nationalism

Описание: Show Notes / Description

In this holiday potpourri episode, Pastors David Buchs and Joshua Reber range from Christmas traditions and pastoral practice to serious theological questions sparked by Genesis 41. Along the way, they discuss the Holy Innocents, children in worship, prophecy and private revelation, miracles, and a listener question about whether the Pope fits the biblical definition of the Antichrist.

The conversation culminates with Joseph’s rise before Pharaoh—and what it teaches us about wisdom, authority, Christian governance, and whether a believer can ever rule “neutrally.” Thoughtful, candid, and grounded in Scripture, this episode connects Genesis to life in a pluralistic world.
