Send us Fan MailBritain has a transphobia problem. But is it really just people independently looking at the facts and deciding they don't like trans people?No. No it's not. Obviously.Join Ben, Adam, Jonny and official husband of the podcast, Seb, as they look at Amnesty International's report Like a Snowball, which maps the growth and coordination of the UK's so-called gender-critical movement. How have just four newspapers published around 17,000 articles about trans people, roughly nine a day, in the space of five years? Why are trans people themselves barely represented in the coverage? And how has an unholy alliance between media, politics, campaigning organisations and conservative Christian groups formed to turn trans people's lives into one of Britain's favourite political battlegrounds? We also talk about the policing of women's bodies, why we end up talking so much about having a piss, and why the term "gender critical" is BS.  Plus: the worst pregnancy advice imaginable.

As we continue exploring the contrast between the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of the World, we begin asking the practical questions that expose where our true allegiance lies. How do we speak about ourselves? Do we seek recognition, status, and influence—or do we quietly point others to Christ? How do we treat the undeserving, the overlooked, and the downcast? Do we show the same honor to the poor that we readily give to the wealthy? Is wealth a prerequisite for influence, respect, or significance in our eyes? Do we seek to lord our authority over others, or do we pursue greatness by becoming servants—even in the lowest and least visible places? Do we follow the world's pattern of self-promotion, boasting, and ambition? Or do we follow the humble example of Christ, who emptied Himself, took the form of a servant, and laid down His life for others?

All things were created through Him and for Him. Above all creation, this includes the powers and principalities of this world. Christians proclaim a God who is above all governors, governments, nations, rulers, and even angelic beings. This is a deeply subversive message—and a dangerous one. Throughout history, earthly powers have demanded ultimate allegiance, loyalty, and recognition. The early Christians refused. Empires attempted to silence this message through force, persecution, and their ultimate threat: death itself. Yet Christ overcame death, exposing the weakness and fraudulent claims of every power that seeks to rival His authority. So how do we balance honoring the authorities Christ has established to govern the world without diminishing our allegiance and obedience to the exalted Christ? What are powers and principalities? Why are they so important to understanding the biblical story? And what does any of this have to do with how Christians relate to governments today?

Why was Satan able to offer Jesus the kingdoms of the world? And what do these passages have to do with how Christians understand governing authorities today?

Is God on your political side? Scripture may say otherwise. Sam, John, and Ron continue their series on governing authorities by challenging one of the most common assumptions Christians make: that God automatically supports "our" nation, party, or political tribe. From Isaiah's shocking blessing of Egypt and Assyria, to Nahum's judgment against violent empires, to Daniel's warning that even admired superpowers can become beastly, the guys explore the Bible's deeply unsettling view of political power. Then Revelation raises the stakes. Rome is portrayed as a beast empowered by Satan itself, tempting believers to exchange allegiance to Jesus for security, prosperity, and survival. (Sound familiar?)  Finally, the conversation turns toward the New Testament's provocative language about Satan as the "god" and "ruler" of this world—setting the stage for next week's deep dive into powers and principalities.

Have you ever let a disagreement over politics and faith destroy a relationship that took years to build? In a world where division seems to be at a fever pitch, Christian preppers face a unique challenge—maintaining the connections and community networks that true preparedness requires while navigating the landmines of political and religious discourse. Todd draws from his years of experience curating preparedness content to explore why the ability to engage with people who hold different viewpoints isn't just a social nicety—it's a critical preparedness skill that could determine the strength of your network when it matters most. This episode dives deep into the cost of allowing politics and faith to sever the relationships that form the backbone of any serious preparedness strategy. Todd examines why politicians and public figures don't care about the friendships and family bonds that get sacrificed in their name, and challenges listeners to consider a more mature approach to dialogue. For preppers who understand that community and trusted relationships are among the most valuable assets in any crisis scenario, this conversation offers essential perspective on protecting those bonds without compromising your core values. The ability to find shared values with others—even those across the aisle—may prove invaluable when survival and preparedness matter more than political allegiance. Christian preppers who master this skill position themselves to build stronger, more resilient communities. Listen now and consider how you might strengthen your relationships while staying true to your faith and convictions.

Amy Fritz is joined by her husband, Nathan Fritz, on the Untangled Faith podcast to discuss their chainging relationship with faith and politics, particularly in the context of the 2016 election and its aftermath. "It's not just that we don't all think the same, and there isn't necessarily a clear biblical rule on every political thing. We might value some of the same things, but not everybody agrees on how to get to that place."– Amy Fritz In this episode we talk about: What started our process of rethinking the "Christian" approach to politics. Trump Derangement Syndrome. What it means to vote for policies as opposed to a person. The problem with "mean Tweets". Examine government inefficiencies while recognizing its role in providing necessary support. The role of the Church in providing social safety nets. Consider the impact of media and public perception on faith and politics, including concerns about media legitimacy and the term "Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)."   Resources: https://currentpub.com/2016/06/25/james-dobson-on-the-character-of-the-president-of-the-united-states/ https://news.gallup.com/poll/235022/presidential-moral-leadership-less-important-republicans.aspx?utm_source=alert&utm_medium=email&utm_content=morelink&utm_campaign=syndication https://thepreamble.com/p/jemar-tisby-advice-for-single-issue https://www.cnn.com/2015/09/13/politics/barack-obama-religion-christian-misperceptions/index.html https://ministrywatch.com/health-share-ministries-face-growing-chorus-of-complaints-and-lawsuits   If you liked this episode, check out these ones: 116 How Evangelicals Aligned with Republicans: A Conversation with Chris Staron (untangledfaithpodcast.com) 115: What Happens When You Mix Politics and Faith with Kaitlyn Schiess (untangledfaithpodcast.com)   Where you can find me: Subscribe to my newsletter: https://untangledfaith.substack.com Youtube channel- https://youtube.com/channel/UCPfFk-I6QShXXvEpSFaJOvg https://untangledfaithpodcast.com Amy Fritz (@amyhenningfritz) on Threads https://instagram.com/untangledfaith  https://instagram.com/amyhenningfritz

In this episode of Father and Joe, Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks tackle a pressing issue we all face today: navigating the hateful and divisive political climate that is so prevalent during election seasons. Joe shares his observations on how political advertising today is filled with negativity, hate, and division. He explains, “One of the responsibilities of building a successful society, of being holy, is to not spread hate. Hate being pretty much the opposite of love.”Together, Joe and Father Boniface reflect on how we can protect ourselves from falling into these traps of negativity, starting with personal responsibility. As Father Boniface highlights, “When you notice something that is irritating, frustrating, or hurtful, rather than simply condemning others for it, you're asking the question, 'Am I doing that?' That attitude is already such a remedy. If we were all doing that, we'd be much better off.”Father Boniface takes the conversation deeper by connecting it to the example of Christ, who "took responsibility for everyone, as if he were the one creating all the problems. God made him to be sin so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." He explains how Jesus' sacrifice invites us to take ownership of the ways we contribute to division, both big and small, while still acknowledging that we are victims at times too.This episode offers valuable insights on how to break away from the toxic patterns of modern political discourse. Rather than demonizing others, we are encouraged to "try to understand the best of your opponent's argument. Rather than setting up a strawman argument, set up a strongman argument or an Ironman argument."The conversation also touches on how shallow political messages have become, with Joe explaining that most campaign ads are “intellectual cotton candy” – designed to evoke strong feelings but lacking any real substance. He advises, “I think it's more about the how than the who. Like, what are you actually going to do? How are you going to solve this question? Because at the end of the day, all I've heard is platitudes… they say you're a bad person if you don't agree with this, but there's no substance to it.”This episode serves as a much-needed reminder that, as Christians, we are called to live in love, even in the most heated and hostile environments. It challenges us to engage with politics and society in a way that reflects Christ's teachings, seeking to spread love rather than hate, and striving to understand rather than condemn.If you're feeling overwhelmed by the negativity of modern politics and are looking for ways to stay grounded in your faith, this episode is for you. Remember, we can't control everything, but we can control how we respond and how we contribute to the conversation. Let's do it with love.Tune in now to hear more valuable lessons on how we can transform today's divisive environment into one of love, understanding, and healing.#FaithInAction #LoveAndPolitics #FatherAndJoeTags:faith, politics and faith, love and responsibility, divisive politics, election season, religious podcast, Father and Joe, Father Boniface Hicks, Joe Rockey, Christian values, moral responsibility, forgiveness, Catholic podcast, faith in society, dealing with hate, avoiding political negativity, political debates, personal responsibility, spreading love, loving your enemy, political hate, political division, negativity in media, how to stay positive, protecting yourself from hate, Christ's example, spreading love not hate, the power of forgiveness, being holy, politics and love, how to spread love, political advertising, avoiding negativity, Christian teachings, love thy neighbor, healing through love
