The Bad Roman

Make Church Like Jesus Again with Tasha Heath

Listen Later

Do non-Christians see Jesus, or politics, when they look at us? Tasha Heath doesn’t identify as a Christian but has been around the church her whole life. She also worked inside party politics and saw enough behind-the-scenes behavior to step back. From the outside, her read is simple: basic kindness and steady presence change more than ballots and online fights ever will.

Craig and Tasha ask the hard question: how do non-Christians perceive Christians, and is our politics-first posture helping or hurting the gospel? They dig into hypocrisy, homelessness, prisons, and why the church must find a way to look like Jesus, not the state. 

They dig into:

  • Optics of church vs. state and public witness.
  • From activism to opting out & local care.
  • Teens, algorithms, and outrage-discipleship.
  • Prisons, plant “crimes,” and decriminalization.
  • Early church imagination vs. modern nationalism.
