Wretched Radio with Todd Friel

IS YOUR FAITH BUILT ON POLITICS OR THE GOSPEL? TIME TO DECIDE


Listen Later

Segment 1:

• Beware of Overcorrection: Don’t swing too far in response to political wins or losses—keep the faith focused on Kingdom values.

• Celebrate, Then Refocus: Rejoice in positive change but remember, God’s mission is ongoing, and it’s time to get busy with real work.

• Limit Political Saviors: Leaders can’t bring in a “Godly age”; political slogans aren’t the solution—God’s work goes beyond them.

Segment 2:

• Historical Futility Reminder: Knowing history’s fleeting importance—like recalling 1900’s President—keeps our focus on what truly lasts.

• Judgment of Works: All we do will face judgment; make choices with eternal value in mind, not temporary pursuits.

• Avoid Mystical Distractions: Mysticism can cloud focus; keep your faith centered on the Gospel, avoiding traps that pull us away.

Segment 3:

• Focus on the Eternal: “It’s Eternity, Stupid” reminds us to keep the church’s purpose above the chaos of political winds.

• Gospel as True Change Agent: Real change comes from the Gospel, not political figures, keeping our hope on Jesus.

• Truth over Politicians: The Church’s allegiance is to truth and biblical principles, not any politician—support leaders who align, but stay rooted in faith.

Segment 4:

• Review of Practicing the Way: John Mark Comer’s book reviewed for missing true Gospel clarity, promoting feel-good over faith-depth.

• Disconnect in Christian Publishing: Many books bridge faith and culture but risk a lack of biblical substance, distancing people from true faith.

• Mystical and Misguided: Comer’s approach leans into mysticism and cultural relevance, but without grounding in Gospel essentials.
