What happens when Christianity becomes entangled with political power? The God Squad sits down with Pastor Cody Deese of Vinings Lake Church for a no-nonsense conversation about Christian Nationalism, MAGA, Donald Trump, and activism from the pulpit. We discuss what it means to be an activist in the pulpit, why Cody refuses to remain silent about injustice and harmful political ideology, the danger of confusing political loyalty with following Jesus, and the role of the Church in this moment.
