Note: This episode was planned, recorded and scheduled to air prior to the alleged assassination attempt on candidate and former President Trump on July 13, 2024.
Angella and Leslie challenge conventional beliefs about the intersection of faith and politics, comparing them to what they see as a troubling trend. Inspired by a thought-provoking YouTube video from the Midas Touch channel, "New Turn the Tables on Trump Expose Movement" featuring Politics Girl, they detail their own Christian journeys and discuss the metaphor of faith as a mansion with many rooms. The Besties share their personal experiences of loving Christ in their own ways and they reflect on some of their struggles- from church hurt to hypocrisy, within some faith communities.
Moreover, Angella and Leslie discuss what appears to be an evolution of traditional Christian Evangelism toward white nationalism. They point out the discordance between the Biblical depiction of a loving God who commands us to love thy neighbor with the exclusionary, often racially biased cohort or views the Republican candidate as the next Messiah.
