There simply wasn’t any way Trump was going to announce the “America Prays” initiative and we weren’t going to cover it on Red State Reboot. In this mid-week bonus ep, we dive into this new passion project of the Administration and its implications for everyday people, and in classic RSR fashion, also draw comparisons between America Prays with MLMs and YoungLife. Still want more? You got it. Ben gives a biblical lesson involving the Book of Revelation and the Antichrist; we let our guards down and speak our truth about 9/11 and the discourse around it; and we lament the continued dismantling of human rights in this country.
BTW - Don’t let anyone ever tell you you won’t use a Master’s Degree in Latin American Studies. We used 2 of ‘em in this ep ;)
We’ll see you on the streets (and at the mandated 10-person prayer meet-up!).
Shoutouts for this episode go to Ben’s dog groomer, and organizations across our country doing extremely critical work to protect and support our migrant neighbors.
We hope you’ll consider supporting the following groups across NC:
