Episode 121: Why Christians are Embracing Conspiracy Theories with Jonathan Mellen & Casey Fanning
Hi Pilgrim,
On today’s episode Steve sits down with two of his good friends who are nominal Trump voters to help better understand why Christians seem fascinated with conspiracy theories and why they tend to fuel said conspiracies rather than extinguish them. Along the way we discuss Donald Trump, the Epoch Times, and how Christians can be conditioned into toxic patterns.
Buen Camino,
Steve & Tammy
