Donald Trump is rebuilding part of the White House—and people are losing their minds. But what if this headline says more about us than it does about politics? In today’s episode, Joel Settecase takes this viral story and connects it to a much bigger truth about human nature, divine renovation, and what it really means to be made in the image of God.
In this episode:
• Why Trump’s “White House ballroom” has everyone talking (and what’s really going on)
• The surprising spiritual lesson in C.S. Lewis’s “God as Builder” metaphor
• How God renovates hearts just like a master craftsman rebuilds a house
• What Scripture says about our ontological status as humans—superior yet subordinate
• How secularism distorts human dignity (and why the Christian worldview restores it)
• The connection between creation, redemption, and the true “Temple” of God
Key Scriptures:
– 2 Corinthians 5:17
– 2 Timothy 2:20–23
– Acts 17:28
– 1 Corinthians 6:19–20
– Romans 1:18–25
Resources Mentioned:
– C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
– “Escape from Reason,” Francis Schaeffer
– OpenBible.info: What the Bible says about the Temple
