Is Donald Trump the anti-Christ? Church folk on the Left so say. To assess the possibilities I work through features of the anti-Christ found across the Bible. Along the way I also variously: give a personal health update, talk about a recent camping trip and what that made me think about, offer a suggested name for any angry new band, share my feelings about the current price of a gallon of gas, reflect on what is going on with the Southern Poverty Law Center and the impact that organization had on thousands of pastors, take a humorous look back at a now-more-common compliment I received, and think out loud about political-Christian hypocrisy. Let's both hone our thinking about anti-Christ and share some laughter together.

How should we define and describe Christian mission? Across recent American history Evangelicals would answer that by saying, "go be a pastor," or "go overseas and be a missionary." Those are great callings, but what about the ordinary people? What is God's mission for them? In this rolling conversation Mark and I unpack the original God-given mission in Genesis. God's goals involved the entirety of the planet earth, blessing all creation, and building culture. But Evangelicals not only are not interested in culture, they positively hate thinking about culture and its effects. Even more, we talk about how the original Edenic mission will be our very mission in resurrection life, the Eschaton. Come think, meditated, and laugh with me and Mark about a critical topic.
