Crossmap Podcast: Dr. Michael Brown on 'The Political Seduction of the Church'

Dr. Michael Brown

To say the last few years of American politics has been volatile and chaotic is quite the understatement.

With mid-term elections just around the corner, and the presidential election cycle looming just beyond that, it seems voters are determined to move beyond the machinations and maneuverings of the last few years.

But before that can happen, we must find answers and put closure on some troubling developments in the Faith community.

For example:  Was the relationship between evangelical Christians and Donald Trump a match made in heaven or a marriage made in hell?

Did Christian conservatives trade their reputation for a seat at the political table?

And how did Donald Trump go from unlikely presidential candidate to superhero to political savior in the eyes of his supporters?

Dr. Michael Brown, believes that in the last election millions of sincere Christians seemed to wrap the Gospel in the American flag so tightly that politics became a rallying point of their faith. In his latest book, The Political Seduction of the Church, he rejects the idea that the Church is called to take over society, and lays out a strategy for healthy political and cultural engagement.

To Purchase The Political Seduction of the Church?

Dr. Brown joins us on the Crossmap Podcast to share his thoughts on whether Christians should even be involved in politics and why, as a body of believers, we must do better. Listen as he shares why he thinks false prophecies were given during President Trump’s re-election campaign in 2020, and   how to recognize some surefire ways that you have been politically seduced.

    Do Christian Values Work in What We Call the "Real World"?

    In his classic text, The Contemplative Pastor, Eugene Peterson wrote:As a pastor, I don’t like being viewed as nice but insignificant. I bristle when a high-energy executive leaves the place of worship with the comment, ‘This was wonderful, Pastor, but now we have to get back to the real world, don’t we?’ I had thought we were in the most-real world, the world revealed as God’s, a world believed to be invaded by God’s grace and turning on the pivot of Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection.
