Best of 2024: New Apostolic Reformation Wages Spiritual Warfare on Demon-crats / Matthew Taylor

Dec 24 2024
Many of the charismatic Christian leaders who showed up on January 6th believed that God was going to intervene, that it was a day of prophesied destiny and that God would miraculously put Donald Trump back in office, in answer to their prayers and their spiritual warfare. They believed that that would inaugurate a great revival in America, a great Christian revival and maybe even trigger a global revival because of the evidently miraculous hand of God intervening in American politics.

Matthew D. Taylor joins us to discuss his book, The Violent Take It by Force: The Christian Movement That Is Threatening Our Democracy, published just yesterday by Broadleaf Books. Jeff Dorchen joins us after the interview to deliver a new segment of "The Moment of Truth."
