The influence of the woke mindset on the church universal Is undeniable, particularly in the wake of the Covid lockdowns and the Black Lives Matter movement. The "God and Government" team discusses this issue and how it has created a rift among various Christian communities, often leaving conservative believers in the uncomfortable position of having to sit marginalized in liberal-leaning ministries or to abandon them entirely. We welcome guest Randy Silva, host of ''The Withered Fig Tree" podcast, to talk about the damage wrought by woke ideology lhe church, particularly its impact on the International Church of Christ. Scripture references include Proverbs 29:2, Colossians 2:8, and Mark 3:22-28.
