As our nation grapples with what many are calling a constitutional crisis, how should Christians respond? Malcolm and Slim wade into these turbulent waters with theological depth and pastoral sensitivity as expressed in calling some christian's response to mass deportations a "Toxic Soup of Dumb."

Malcolm opens with a profound meditation on the heart of the Christian faith—not political power or cultural dominance, but Christ's invitation to share in his relationship with the Father. This theological foundation becomes crucial as we tackle disturbing current events including deportations, executive overreach, and treatment of vulnerable populations.

The conversation doesn't shy away from naming evil or expressing righteous anger. But they don't leave listeners in despair. Drawing from scripture, church history, and theological wisdom, they outline practical responses for Christians navigating these difficult times: knowing your rights to protect neighbors, engaging in non-violent resistance, joining communities of lament and support, and most crucially, finding peace through prayer rather than doom scrolling. (try hope scrolling?)

What makes this episode particularly powerful is how it connects our present moment to the Easter story. This isn't wishful thinking but the solid foundation of Christian hope in troubled times.

Please share this episode with anyone struggling to find hope.
