In this episode of Roots and Relevance, Jonathan and Tim delve into Luke 23 and discuss the significance of the cross and resurrection. They explore David French's article about the recent revival claims following Charlie Kirk's death and examine the difference between true revival and revolt. The conversation includes an analysis of cultural and political events, Mark Driscoll's reinvention, and the theological implications of the torn temple curtain. The role of power, the fruit of the Spirit, and the effect of Christian values on society are critically assessed in light of biblical teachings.
