I cannot express in words how much I appreciate your effort Pat. Trump has normalised so many actions that are in direct conflict to the message of Christ. And I am a secular humanist for what it’s worth.
The Secular Humanist isn’t misrepresenting themselves. Jesus Christ isn’t the property of any version of Christian Faith. The “message” of Jesus and the mythology associated with Jesus is part of world cultural heritage. So, Jesus is ‘mine’ as much as Jesus is anyone’s. A Secular Humanist may quote Mark Twain, Einstein, Confucius, Franklin, Buddha, Jesus or anyone else. I have a sincere personal and cultural background in Christian history and beliefs and perhaps this viewer does as well. Acknowledging that we have insufficient evidence to conclude miraculous narratives are reliably historical events doesn’t prevent one from expressing value and wisdom or honesty and respect. What of value and wisdom is exemplified by Trump and his MAGA cult? How does Trump represent honesty and respect?
@user-jd9zm4jf3t: I am not here to defend my worldview or secular humanism, ( @ciperclosenuf9242 has made some good points that I agree with 100%), but to applaud Pat on his mission to alert fellow Christians who are being duped by Trump and the MAGA movement. I will add though that I believe that there are very important and good reasons for separation between Church and State. Similarly, freedom of religion must be enshrined and fiercely protected in any true and fair democracy, and of course, freedom from other’s religion at the same time. There is a real danger that the MAGA movement could erode some of these fundamental cornerstones of democracy as we know it in the “free world”.

Thank you for this video! Excellent!! I truly believe Joe Biden cares about Americans and he seems like a very caring individual. He had 2 children and his first wife pass away at an early age so he understands grief that people go thru. John McCain was a close personal friend of his for years and I respect how he can work with others across the aisle. I certainly don’t agree with him on everything but he clearly is the safer for democracy choice.
Thank you. I feel the same. To my knowledge Biden has never said anything against trumps children, but Trump said Hunter Biden needed to be executed and showed an image of Biden hogtied on the back of a pickup truck. To me that is a cold hearted person.
Everyone should vote their true belief. Our great country was founded and remains ( mostly!) committed to that central idea! Those who try to limit voting are not acting within the American way.
There's a lot of excellent, thought-provoking material in this short video. One important point that I have also been making is that if Nikki Haley had been the Republican nominee, I could have slept easy, knowing that whether she or Biden won the general election, neither of them would torch the Constitution. This is a point that a lot of sensible people across the political spectrum have articulated. Trump represents a world altering threat to American democracy and global stability.
I agree with you about Nikki Haley. I’m an independent, but I think she’s a good person. The only thing that bothered me about her was when she said she would vote for Trump or pardon him if she won.
@@carolynstuart5901 I think the RNC made the "vote for the eventual Republican nominee" a requirement for being in the primary debates. But it holds no legal binding. She might not have meant it.

I definitely appreciate your work. Politically I'm far more to the left than you are, but if a Donald Trump-like candidate were to show up on the ballot for a left leaning party in any country, I'd want him or her kept out of office too.
Thanks so much for putting out these videos! I'm sure you probably get a lot of hateful, nasty comments. You'll receive no such from me. You make such a great case against Donald Trump and you're correct in your assessment of him being a danger to not only the United States, but the world.
I SO look forward to your videos. My family has majorly been hurt in the evangelical movement of the past few years. We are afraid to even find another church. I would LOVE to have you for a pastor.
Thanks, Pat. I thought I was alone in the world until I discovered your channel. I was also a lifelong conservative and Republican until Trump came along. The fact that he has garnered so much Evangelical support has been very disheartening to me. This year I'm working on healing relationships with friends and family who have been wooed away from true Christianity by Trump and MAGA power. Thanks for gently nudging Christians back on track.
I have a lot of family who are Trumpers and are so blind to Trumps character and crimes! They believe his lies . He’s not a Christian and calling immigrants vermin and animals! They are loved and created by God , in his image. My family will not listen to reason, continue to support a despicable man with 80 criminal charges! Taking classified documents and leading Jan.6th insurrection are treasonous actions and Trump shouldn’t even be on the ballot! Trump aligns with Satan more than Jesus! Some people will not open their eyes , a cult like I’ve heard. Trump
Thank YOU for these. I'm a lifelong Democrat and an atheistically inclined agnostic. I really appreciate hearing your views. When I think about Trump, MAGA et. al. my blood boils. I am terrified about what will happen if he wins. I'm baffled by the evangelical Christian Trump followers. You are helping me understand, as Tim Alberta has.
I agree with your thoughts. Chapter 19 of Tim Alberta’s book gives me hope that evangelicals and evangelical leaders are beginning to move away from MAGA. It is exhausting to have 7 more months before the election though
@@TimSpangler-v9i I appreciate what this person posted and I agree. Personally, I do not see myself as tolerant of oath breaking, fraudulent, privileged elites who want to rule as dictators. What are your thoughts…are you tolerant of such leadership?
Thanks for the content you're putting out. I am a democrat and it has never bothered me if the president was republican or democrat. I always thought our leaders despite party affiliation would not care about the nation as a whole. Trump has changed my view on that. Through him, I've come to see how fragile democracy is. Additionally, anyone that has read the bible and understands God character, should be able to discern evil and notice that he's high off of divisiveness, chaos, and hate. He has been what he is his entire life. I believe what Charles Stanley always said, "You reap what you sow, more than you sow, later than you sow." It's sad to say, but Trump's harvest will be huge.
Thank you Pastor Kahnke for your extremely critical address to Christians not only in America but worldwide. More Pastors and preachers should be doing what you have courageously committed yourself to do. The soundness of your words represents what God’s Word teaches us. You use the word “seduce” which is exactly what scripture tells us to beware of in times like these. It is impossible for true Christians to be deceived or seduce. Matthew 24:24 teaches us , “ For there shall arise false christs and false prophets and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” Please continue this absolutely critical work!
Thanks so much for doing this channel. I agree with you well, thus far! I was also a life-long conservative Christian Republican. The last Republican presidential candidate I voted for was McCain. I no longer have much at all in common with the GOP, and they're the ones that changed. I have no idea how to have conversations with my many cons. Christian friends about politics and Trump. I'm very worried and frankly horrified at the possibility that he might be president next year.
We are allowed to discern who is and isn't fit to lead the country based on how they act/carry themselves. Trump gives you plenty of reason to criticize him because of how he carries himself and some of the things he wants to do while Biden simply doesn't.
I sure do appreciate you. I have been following you for a some time and I have agreed 100% with your views. I have about the same story as yours since 2015. I am not a pastor but have a ministry working with children. All the rest is about the same. It is sad to see a lot of my family, friends, and church family follow the Trump cult. Thank you for what you do to try to help some out this entrapment. I do believe some and hopefully most of my christian brothers and sisters will one day become aware of what they are doing and come back to a right relationship with Jesus & serve only Him. Blessings my friend
@@culturefaithandpolitics There are some of us believers in Jesus that have not bent the knee to the false prophets of this world. My prayer and hope is that many will return and get back to serving the true Lord and would bear much fruit. Blessings.
I truly appreciate the way you approach what could be contentious subjects with wisdom and respect for your viewers. No shouting or name calling or some of the ploys of other podcasters. You exemplify "Speak the TRUTH in LOVE. Thank you!
I discovered your channel this morning. Grateful to hear you speak to topics that I have long contemplated myself. Raised in a staunchly religious family, and knowing many people who embrace their Christian religious beliefs, I have been shaking my head for nearly ten years now confused as to why Christians have embraced someone I find to be obviously immoral, mean, self-centered, dishonest, and a grifter. Perhaps some other force has blinded them to the truth, something they should seek with great tenacity, but seem to avoid or at least ignore.
On behalf of democracy and all that is pure and ethical, and good in this world, thank you for continuing to do this job. Keep it up because even if you only change one mind, that’s one more vote for Biden
All, nice, genuine feelings and points. My issue with Donnie boy is the opposing dynamic between all the lies he tells vs. the Spirit of Truth, which we got from Jesus. In a very 1984-way, Donnie boy twists words around to where they mean the opposite of what they should mean. Naming his platform "Truth Social" is a form of Doublespeak, where if the site were honestly named, it would be called "Lies are Us." The Bible does a fairly decent job of depicting Jesus as a very loving being, who treats people with love. In contrast, Donnie boy seems to go out of his way to make enemies. Ugh! Jesus was humble, Donnie boy is anything but.
Good morning 🌞☕ Thank you...just liked and subscribed...I live in the Caribbean and I'm very aware of what's happening in your country...I watch it in horror everyday...I hope that the Nation come back to it senses and do the right thing for yourselves and humanity...God bless you🙏❤️🙏...and again thanks for being the voice of reason inside this chaos...have a great weekend 😊
It takes courage for Pastors to speak out against Trump. We are all sinners and all need to repent and ask for forgiveness. Trump does not see a need to ask for forgiveness. Trump encourages and allows himself to be compared to the Lord Jesus Christ. He encourages his cult with lies and hatred of their fellowman made in God’s image. I do not see any Christian values or traits displayed in Trump and also with some of his followers. They unfortunately see themselves as Christian but their actions, speech and hearts are far, far away from Christ. All they do is dishonour our Lord.
You are doing an important here. This fruit you have is the evidence of how much you love God, how much you value the Gospel and how much you love the USA and her institutions that makes her stand out in the world. I wish many Christian can see. Trump has taken away the credibility of what they preach.
Its actually not casting judgement against Donald Trump when he is the one showing as the scriptures say his fruits. Show bad fruits how can anyone say you are good? I applaud you and appreciate you for this video! God bless you!
Wow - yeah, I get a lot of ads for Trump on my videos. I take it as a sign that the videos are finding a part of the audience I want to reach. I don't think CZcams would place those ads if people who tend to vote Republican weren't watching the videos. I'm kind of proud that Biden and Trump ads both end up showing on my videos. :)
Thank you, Pat. I listen to all your videos and could just cry. I am an agnostic athiest, but you don't preach religion, you discuss humanity, and it is heartbreakingly refreshing. Please keep talking. Please.
@@TimSpangler-v9i- That's your right as an American, but EVERY Believer should be honestly seeking the face of God regarding who they should vote for and then fervently praying for whomever is elected whether their candidate wins or not.
Honestly, I see little point in making a real issue, faith based or not, with Biden or any of our recent ex presidents, compared to Rump. As Pat said, I would agree and disagree with all of them on some of their choices and decisions. But none possessed the baggage (legal, moral, personal, political) as Rump does. Not even close.
What is wrong with Trump's closing of the border? What is wrong with Trump putting conservatives on the supreme court? What is wrong with Trump trying to build a stronger economy? Do you feel that Mr Biden has done a better job as a president than Mr. Trump?
I'm sorry to tell you but there are answers to all of your questions that lead away from Donald trump.. truly in my heart I do not believe if a Christian who has a good heart with Christ in it can follow Donald Trump. I don't agree with a lot of Joe Biden's positions but I know he is a decent kind caring human being and Donald Trump is not.
Yes. Biden has done a MUCH better job than Donald. Go to an unbiased fact based source with an open heart and mind. All economic indicators are much stronger under Biden, who took office at the height of a worldwide pandemic and consequent worldwide inflation. He inherited a boatload of problems, in addition to having to deal with a former president who refused to concede he lost the election which has kept his base stirred up and angry. Despite these obstacles, Biden has shepherded us through the worst of it. his experience in government matters.
I am reminded of when Satan tried to use (Psalm 91) while attempting to tempt Jesus, bending God's word. It is the mark of the enemy. Therefore, it is upon us to know God's word and apply it to our lives. Thank you for preaching the truth, brother! Thank you for bringing light to this topic. Maranatha!!
I am a Christian who lives in Canada and I'm an American. I vote overseas essentially. I have been heartbroken by the Evangelical embracement of Donald Trump. I honestly no longer trust Christianity in America.
“Start at the beginning and listen through.” That’s key! The first episode that came up on my feed was, “Give Us Barabbas.” It was intriguing and refreshing. Many times I’m so puzzled to hear Christians and their responses, but this has been well thought out and expressed. There are two camps that seem to be increasingly solidifying. Christian Nationalism and Progressive Christianity. What is happening to us. Can we just follow Christ?
I wished you could talk to my son. I get too emotional and can’t articulate it like you do. Thank you for your God given wisdom to clearly articulate .
I’ve always found that Galatian’s 5 is a good test for leadership. A person who holds such spiritual and moral values (5.22~23) will usually bring others around him\her to make up for their own deficiencies. I see this abundantly clear in Biden but not in Trump. I ask the question. “Who would you want with you at your deathbed?” It sure would not be Donald! Thanks for your measured comments. Greetings from down under.
Disclaimer, I am a Marianne Williamson supporter and all that that entails. Now my authentic issue with Biden is what I perceive as moral failure and complicity with war crimes and the enrichment of the military industrial complex. And if I vote for Biden , then I, too, am complicit. So my ballot will either be blank or a write in for Marianne.
You are a gift to those of us who feel as you do. Thank you for expressing your concern about DJT so eloquently. I hope and pray that your voice is heard.
Sir I have watched quite a few of your videos & I want to thank you for what you’re doing. It probably sounds strange but I follow the teachings & messages of Jesus and also Buddhism. But I don’t consider myself a Christian or a Buddhist. I just agree with being kind, compassionate, empathetic, passive, and I have respect for ALL life, and that means animals that we share the planet with also. We all need to care for and look out for each other and our world. I’m in my mid 50’s, have always thought that and always will. That being said, I’ve also come to believe in the last 8 years or so, that I guess I never knew the true nature of most people. I’m definitely not naïve, I always knew there were people out there who just hated other people for no reason. That there were racists, that there were men who hate women, that there were people who would hate another person because they didn’t have the same religious beliefs or had none at all. I just didn’t have any clue until recently just how many millions feel that way. Since he came into the forefront and became president, I have lost my faith in people and haven’t set foot in any church for years now. In the past, whenever I felt down or stressed out about something, many times I’d take comfort in going to a church and just sitting quietly by myself when there wasn’t a service going on. I’ don’t do that anymore. It’s not the faith itself, it’s not God. It’s the people. I can’t reconcile people claiming to follow Jesus and behaving the way a big portion of them are. Obviously I know it’s not all of them. But it’s a lot, too many for me to be comfortable with. The melding of Trump, QAnon, Christian nationalism and many church pastors and leaders putting too much emphasis on politics and hating “others” has put our country and the world in a very, very bad place. It’s gone on too long. I cry a lot because of everything I see and observe. And mainly it’s due to me questioning myself.. did I ever really know anyone? Is this the way Christians have always been, but now it’s out in the open? It’s heartbreaking. And I have nowhere to turn. (My family members have all passed & I live alone.) What used to mean something to me doesn’t mean anything anymore. That’s my personal story of the kind of damage that’s been done. And I’m far from the only one who feels let down and lost. Anyway, I appreciate you. Please take care of yourself. 💕
I'm trying to provide an analytical response to these videos, but so far they are mostly introductory and they are making claims without going into the details of those claims, so any refutation of the claims will probably have to wait until later videos when more details are provided. I agree somewhat with your discussion about judgement. I think many Christians get this wrong, and Christians are called upon to admonish one another over their actions. Often, when judgements are made about people's actions, they are interpreted as being judgements against the people taking those actions. Realistically, we are all called to make judgements every day, and if parents didn't make judgements about their children's actions, the children would be unsafe. I believe that you are overlooking the biggest factor that makes a Christian support Trump. Based on what I have watched so far, it seems that you are convinced that Trump has created some sort of cult of believers who would follow him anywhere. I'm sure there are some supporters who would, but I believe that the reason most Christian supporters of Trump do so is because of a significant distrust of the media. This video states several times that Trump poses a threat to the Democracy, and to the world. And, again, I expect you to back up those claims in future videos. But, I think the view of many is that it doesn't hold up to past experience. Back in 2016, there were all sorts of warnings about how it would be the end of our Democracy if Donald Trump were elected president. And then he was elected president, and we didn't slip into an immediate dystopian society with Trump as dictator for life. Now, eight years later, to try to make the same claims about the threats that Donald Trump poses is similar to the boy who cried wolf. Why should people believe it? Over the years, I have watched the media evolve into what I now think is diabolical (particularly in coverage of pro-life issues). The majority of news sources are run almost entirely by Democrats, and there are systems in place to squash stories that work against a particular narrative. So, I believe that when you make claims about Donald Trump being an evil man who poses a threat to the Democracy, the average Christian Trump supporter doesn't say "so what?", but instead says "show me some evidence that I can trust". You also discuss bias at the end of this video, and I think you got this wrong. You are still biased, but you have shifted your bias to the left from the right. I'm OK with that. Everyone is biased, and their biases are based on their past experiences and perceptions. The only time I think that we need to try to eliminate bias is in the news business. We need them to be striving to be as un biased as humanly possible. But, unfortunately, they no longer make any attempts at providing unbiased coverage. But you are no less biased because you switched your point of view. You just picked up a different bias. If somebody moved from the Democratic party to the Republican party, would you say they are no longer biased?
Aren't you missing two key points?: 1. Trump attempted a coup against our government. That's about as dystopian as it gets. 2. Trump is the one who started calling all media " fake news" to undermine its credibility in the eyes of his followers, eroding yet another pillar of our society that holds the powerful to account. I suggest you spend time reading outside of your echo chamber. The first Trump administration was horrible. He failed and continues to wreak havoc. It's hard for me to believe you don't understand that.
I'm an ex-Christian, but I have full respect for other peoples' religious beliefs, as long as they don't try to impose them on others (project 2025 for example). You are a breath of much needed fresh air, and I can only hope you will open some eyes and free some souls. But I have my doubts. The MAGA crowd is extremely close-minded to any challenges to their political beliefs.
An underlying theme I have noticed is that people (at least in my circle) keep referring to Biden and dems in general as socialists/communists/marxists, and the biggest reason that they support Trump. I've been doing some reading and trying to understand this, but I think this is something I would like to see you address if you are so inclined.
Only 14 members elected to the 47-member UN Human Rights Council, based in Geneva, are considered “free” countries by the rights group Freedom House, leaving 70 percent of slots occupied by nations designates as “partly free” or “not free. “When the world elects regimes like China, Cuba, Pakistan, to its highest human rights body, that’s like naming Al Capone and his gang to fight organized crime. It’s a betrayal,” said UN Watch executive director Hillel Neuer in an interview with ILTV on Thursday.
Thank you for your efforts in this matter. I all but wrote off all Christian churches in large part because of the support they give to Trump. You have given me that there’s real hope for the future.
Great comparison between Trump and Biden when it comes to the lens they use to view the world. I couldn't agree more. There is absolutely no way one can argue that Trump's rhetoric is helpful for the world community. His focus has always been on himself and that's not ever going to change.
I would vote for Liz Cheney in a heart beat. What most people don't realize is that she voted Republican very strongly during her time in Congress. The ONLY reason WY voters voted her out was because of her anti-Trump stance. Trump is a boil on the butt of the world. It will only get worse until it is lanced and the core infection removed.
That's a good name - what I'm hoping, though, is that someday I can focus more on the culture and faith parts, and a lot less on the politics. I hate politics.
As a 63 year old Christian man, I have never voted in my life. Why?... because I know that voting violates God's commandments. What I have done most of my adult life is to follow what's happening in the world to see how it relates to Bible prophecy... politics included. It has been crystal clear to me that democrats are more pro-life than Republicans; but neither party qualifies as pro-life. So therefore, no Christian can use the pro-life issue to justify voting. God's word makes it perfectly clear that friendship with this world makes you his enemy. We don't need to be focusing on the things of this world and how we can change the world... we need to focus on how we can become more and more christ-like while we still have a chance to do so.
@@culturefaithandpolitics I'm sure that you would agree that it would be wrong to encourage someone to violate God's word. But that's exactly what voting does. Both Jesus and James made it abundantly clear that we are not to swear to any oath at all. But politicians put their hand on the Bible that says to swear not at all, and then proceed to swear to an oath. And that's just one of many ways that politicians violate God's word. I would no more help, or encourage a man to swear to an oath, than I would drive an alcoholic to the liquor store so he can buy his alcohol. You would serve yourself well to study all the reasons why Christians should never vote. I've heard all the excuses as to why it's okay for a Christian to swear to an oath, but none of them can be supported by the word of God. It shouldn't be that hard to ascertain that Christians should have it as part of their testimony to the world, that we trust God and that we are not making this world our home.

This is how we know Rev 17:10-11 is for TODAY and not hundreds of years ago like you’re being told by False Prophets. ”AND ONE IS” … remember it, it’s IMPORTANT. It “pinpoints” the Antichrist also. Was it supposed too, perhaps? Rev 17:11 KJV And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. - “and is of the seven” means he is one of the 7 KINGS of Rev 17:10 - This tells us that KING 8 is one of the 7 NAMES. Kings 1 thru 4 are DEAD. King 5 is not running for office. King 7 will be taken SOON. That leaves KING 6 or TRUMP.

Your videos are like balm for our country’s airwaves. Spot on! I agree whole heartedly. Thanks so much for the rationale arguments and great examples that challenge us all to evaluate the reality of the current Republican Party led by DJT. Thanks for helping to get out the message so skillfully and so sanely. Hopefully many of our brothers and sisters in Christ will come to the same conclusions that we have. For me, voting for Biden and other anti-MAGA candidates seems to be a necessary thing to do in the fall. God bless you and your work. Thanks for the positive and patient example you set for us.

Joe Biden has not committed the crimes Donald Trump has done.
I cannot express in words how much I appreciate your effort Pat. Trump has normalised so many actions that are in direct conflict to the message of Christ. And I am a secular humanist for what it’s worth.
They have been normalised by Republicans in office and his poorly educated followers. What he does and says will never be normal.
Nothing says "the message of Christ"...quite like a secular humanist opining on politics
The Secular Humanist isn’t misrepresenting themselves.

I will add though that I believe that there are very important and good reasons for separation between Church and State. Similarly, freedom of religion must be enshrined and fiercely protected in any true and fair democracy, and of course, freedom from other’s religion at the same time. There is a real danger that the MAGA movement could erode some of these fundamental cornerstones of democracy as we know it in the “free world”.

Thank you for this video! Excellent!! I truly believe Joe Biden cares about Americans and he seems like a very caring individual. He had 2 children and his first wife pass away at an early age so he understands grief that people go thru. John McCain was a close personal friend of his for years and I respect how he can work with others across the aisle. I certainly don’t agree with him on everything but he clearly is the safer for democracy choice.

There's a lot of excellent, thought-provoking material in this short video. One important point that I have also been making is that if Nikki Haley had been the Republican nominee, I could have slept easy, knowing that whether she or Biden won the general election, neither of them would torch the Constitution. This is a point that a lot of sensible people across the political spectrum have articulated. Trump represents a world altering threat to American democracy and global stability.
I agree with you about Nikki Haley. I’m an independent, but I think she’s a good person. The only thing that bothered me about her was when she said she would vote for Trump or pardon him if she won.
@@carolynstuart5901
I think the RNC made the "vote for the eventual Republican nominee" a requirement for being in the primary debates. But it holds no legal binding. She might not have meant it.
Republicans are all of the same mind. In fact they are kicking the ones who differ out of the party!

Thank you. Your calm, thoughtful approach to this scary situation is reassuring and needs to be heard.
I definitely appreciate your work. Politically I'm far more to the left than you are, but if a Donald Trump-like candidate were to show up on the ballot for a left leaning party in any country, I'd want him or her kept out of office too.
That’s a denial of free elections. That’s a rejection of our right to vote
Yes! I think we would be clear-eyed about bad behavior and immorality in a leftist candidate.

Thank you for your stand you take. God bless you.
Thanks so much for putting out these videos! I'm sure you probably get a lot of hateful, nasty comments. You'll receive no such from me. You make such a great case against Donald Trump and you're correct in your assessment of him being a danger to not only the United States, but the world.
Thank you sir for calmly pointing out the facts about trump & that his best interest is himself.
God Bless you.
His only interest is himself
I SO look forward to your videos. My family has majorly been hurt in the evangelical movement of the past few years. We are afraid to even find another church. I would LOVE to have you for a pastor.
Thanks, Pat. I thought I was alone in the world until I discovered your channel. I was also a lifelong conservative and Republican until Trump came along. The fact that he has garnered so much Evangelical support has been very disheartening to me. This year I'm working on healing relationships with friends and family who have been wooed away from true Christianity by Trump and MAGA power. Thanks for gently nudging Christians back on track.
I feel the same way.
I have a lot of family who are Trumpers and are so blind to Trumps character and crimes! They believe his lies . He’s not a Christian and calling immigrants vermin and animals! They are loved and created by God , in his image. My family will not listen to reason, continue to support a despicable man with 80 criminal charges! Taking classified documents and leading Jan.6th insurrection are treasonous actions and Trump shouldn’t even be on the ballot! Trump aligns with Satan more than Jesus! Some people will not open their eyes , a cult like I’ve heard. Trump
When you marry your faith with politics it's called IDOLATRY!!
From Australia; I agree witih you and love to know more
Thank YOU for these. I'm a lifelong Democrat and an atheistically inclined agnostic. I really appreciate hearing your views. When I think about Trump, MAGA et. al. my blood boils. I am terrified about what will happen if he wins. I'm baffled by the evangelical Christian Trump followers. You are helping me understand, as Tim Alberta has.
Boiling blood does not seen to me to be overkill!
You probably see yourself as "tolerant" huh?
I agree with your thoughts. Chapter 19 of Tim Alberta’s book gives me hope that evangelicals and evangelical leaders are beginning to move away from MAGA. It is exhausting to have 7 more months before the election though

I appreciate what this person posted and I agree.
Personally, I do not see myself as tolerant of oath breaking, fraudulent, privileged elites
who want to rule as dictators.
What are your thoughts…are you tolerant of such leadership?
Thanks for the content you're putting out. I am a democrat and it has never bothered me if the president was republican or democrat. I always thought our leaders despite party affiliation would not care about the nation as a whole. Trump has changed my view on that. Through him, I've come to see how fragile democracy is. Additionally, anyone that has read the bible and understands God character, should be able to discern evil and notice that he's high off of divisiveness, chaos, and hate. He has been what he is his entire life. I believe what Charles Stanley always said, "You reap what you sow, more than you sow, later than you sow." It's sad to say, but Trump's harvest will be huge.
Thank you Pat, we all really appreciate your words, your honesty and your love for Gods people 🙏🏼 keep up the good work!
Thank you Pastor Kahnke for your extremely critical address to Christians not only in America but worldwide. More Pastors and preachers should be doing what you have courageously committed yourself to do. The soundness of your words represents what God’s Word teaches us. You use the word “seduce” which is exactly what scripture tells us to beware of in times like these. It is impossible for true Christians to be deceived or seduce. Matthew 24:24 teaches us , “
For there shall arise false christs and false prophets and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”
Please continue this absolutely critical work!
It is so disheartening these days to see so many of "the very elect" being deceived by a malignant narcissistic sociopath.
Thanks so much for doing this channel. I agree with you well, thus far! I was also a life-long conservative Christian Republican. The last Republican presidential candidate I voted for was McCain. I no longer have much at all in common with the GOP, and they're the ones that changed. I have no idea how to have conversations with my many cons. Christian friends about politics and Trump. I'm very worried and frankly horrified at the possibility that he might be president next year.
Thoughtful and honest, as always. Thanks for doing what you can.
We are allowed to discern who is and isn't fit to lead the country based on how they act/carry themselves. Trump gives you plenty of reason to criticize him because of how he carries himself and some of the things he wants to do while Biden simply doesn't.
Well said. In fact, if Biden spoke as Trump does, he would have already been run out of town.
@@Grandpa_Boxer- Ah, yes! We Dems simply wouldn’t support a criminal devil like Trump…never!
I sure do appreciate you. I have been following you for a some time and I have agreed 100% with your views. I have about the same story as yours since 2015. I am not a pastor but have a ministry working with children. All the rest is about the same. It is sad to see a lot of my family, friends, and church family follow the Trump cult. Thank you for what you do to try to help some out this entrapment. I do believe some and hopefully most of my christian brothers and sisters will one day become aware of what they are doing and come back to a right relationship with Jesus & serve only Him. Blessings my friend
Thank you - it's good to hear from you!
This is my constant prayer.
@@culturefaithandpolitics There are some of us believers in Jesus that have not bent the knee to the false prophets of this world. My prayer and hope is that many will return and get back to serving the true Lord and would bear much fruit. Blessings.
Thank you Ps Pat. Giving thanks to our God for you and what you are doing here.
I agreed with your explanations.

Thanks so much for doing this Pat 😊.
I truly appreciate the way you approach what could be contentious subjects with wisdom and respect for your viewers. No shouting or name calling or some of the ploys of other podcasters. You exemplify "Speak the TRUTH in LOVE. Thank you!
I discovered your channel this morning. Grateful to hear you speak to topics that I have long contemplated myself. Raised in a staunchly religious family, and knowing many people who embrace their Christian religious beliefs, I have been shaking my head for nearly ten years now confused as to why Christians have embraced someone I find to be obviously immoral, mean, self-centered, dishonest, and a grifter. Perhaps some other force has blinded them to the truth, something they should seek with great tenacity, but seem to avoid or at least ignore.
I so agree with you. Trump did leave a lot behind for his successor to pick up the pieces.
On behalf of democracy and all that is pure and ethical, and good in this world, thank you for continuing to do this job. Keep it up because even if you only change one mind, that’s one more vote for Biden
I think he will change many a mind!
Outstanding video
Thank you for doing this. It is so important and so needed.
All, nice, genuine feelings and points.
My issue with Donnie boy is the opposing dynamic between all the lies he tells vs. the Spirit of Truth, which we got from Jesus. In a very 1984-way, Donnie boy twists words around to where they mean the opposite of what they should mean. Naming his platform "Truth Social" is a form of Doublespeak, where if the site were honestly named, it would be called "Lies are Us."
The Bible does a fairly decent job of depicting Jesus as a very loving being, who treats people with love. In contrast, Donnie boy seems to go out of his way to make enemies. Ugh! Jesus was humble, Donnie boy is anything but.

It takes courage for Pastors to speak out against Trump. We are all sinners and all need to repent and ask for forgiveness. Trump does not see a need to ask for forgiveness. Trump encourages and allows himself to be compared to the Lord Jesus Christ. He encourages his cult with lies and hatred of their fellowman made in God’s image. I do not see any Christian values or traits displayed in Trump and also with some of his followers. They unfortunately see themselves as Christian but their actions, speech and hearts are far, far away from Christ. All they do is dishonour our Lord.
You are doing an important here. This fruit you have is the evidence of how much you love God, how much you value the Gospel and how much you love the USA and her institutions that makes her stand out in the world. I wish many Christian can see. Trump has taken away the credibility of what they preach.
This God's work! This Pastor will be rewarded for having the courage to obey God's direction,
Its actually not casting judgement against Donald Trump when he is the one showing as the scriptures say his fruits. Show bad fruits how can anyone say you are good? I applaud you and appreciate you for this video! God bless you!
Stand Up Speak Out Walk Humble with God.
Very good, thoughtful show.
You must be hitting a nerve
There is a Donate to Trump banner at the top of your You Tube page. 😅
Wow - yeah, I get a lot of ads for Trump on my videos. I take it as a sign that the videos are finding a part of the audience I want to reach. I don't think CZcams would place those ads if people who tend to vote Republican weren't watching the videos. I'm kind of proud that Biden and Trump ads both end up showing on my videos. :)
Thank you, Pat. I listen to all your videos and could just cry. I am an agnostic athiest, but you don't preach religion, you discuss humanity, and it is heartbreakingly refreshing. Please keep talking. Please.

Thank you for this video. It needed to be made. Love your viewpoint and compassion (and unbiasness). 😊 🙏 🤲
Honestly, I see little point in making a real issue, faith based or not, with Biden or any of our recent ex presidents, compared to Rump.
As Pat said, I would agree and disagree with all of them on some of their choices and decisions. But none possessed the baggage (legal, moral, personal, political) as Rump does. Not even close.
What is wrong with Trump's closing of the border? What is wrong with Trump putting conservatives on the supreme court? What is wrong with Trump trying to build a stronger economy? Do you feel that Mr Biden has done a better job as a president than Mr. Trump?
I'm sorry to tell you but there are answers to all of your questions that lead away from Donald trump.. truly in my heart I do not believe if a Christian who has a good heart with Christ in it can follow Donald Trump. I don't agree with a lot of Joe Biden's positions but I know he is a decent kind caring human being and Donald Trump is not.
Yes. Biden has done a MUCH better job than Donald. Go to an unbiased fact based source with an open heart and mind. All economic indicators are much stronger under Biden, who took office at the height of a worldwide pandemic and consequent worldwide inflation. He inherited a boatload of problems, in addition to having to deal with a former president who refused to concede he lost the election which has kept his base stirred up and angry. Despite these obstacles, Biden has shepherded us through the worst of it. his experience in government matters.
@@adrian-gr8hg yup, all decent human beings shower with their 12 year old daughters.
Great points. Thanks
I am reminded of when Satan tried to use (Psalm 91) while attempting to tempt Jesus, bending God's word. It is the mark of the enemy. Therefore, it is upon us to know God's word and apply it to our lives. Thank you for preaching the truth, brother! Thank you for bringing light to this topic. Maranatha!!
I am a Christian who lives in Canada and I'm an American. I vote overseas essentially. I have been heartbroken by the Evangelical embracement of Donald Trump. I honestly no longer trust Christianity in America.
“Start at the beginning and listen through.”
That’s key!
The first episode that came up on my feed was, “Give Us Barabbas.”
It was intriguing and refreshing.
Many times I’m so puzzled to hear Christians and their responses, but this has been well thought out and expressed.
There are two camps that seem to be increasingly solidifying.
Christian Nationalism and Progressive Christianity.
What is happening to us. Can we just follow Christ?
Amen! You are speaking the truth in love.
This series is excellent. Thank you for your integrity.
Your channel gives me hope. Thank you so much for speaking truth.
Very Good Informative Segment 🗽 🇺🇲 🌠 💙 ✨
I wished you could talk to my son. I get too emotional and can’t articulate it like you do. Thank you for your God given wisdom to clearly articulate .
I’ve always found that Galatian’s 5 is a good test for leadership. A person who holds such spiritual and moral values (5.22~23) will usually bring others around him\her to make up for their own deficiencies. I see this abundantly clear in Biden but not in Trump. I ask the question. “Who would you want with you at your deathbed?” It sure would not be Donald! Thanks for your measured comments. Greetings from down under.
That's an excellent question!
100 percent accurate, Sir. Thank you, and keep up your excellent videos.
Please go on prime time - GOD’S ALL CHILDREN NEED YOUR REVELATIONS !
Disclaimer, I am a Marianne Williamson supporter and all that that entails. Now my authentic issue with Biden is what I perceive as moral failure and complicity with war crimes and the enrichment of the military industrial complex. And if I vote for Biden , then I, too, am complicit. So my ballot will either be blank or a write in for Marianne.
You are a gift to those of us who feel as you do. Thank you for expressing your concern about DJT so eloquently. I hope and pray that your voice is heard.
This is awesome.
As a follower of Christ I appreciate your posts.
Sir I have watched quite a few of your videos & I want to thank you for what you’re doing. It probably sounds strange but I follow the teachings & messages of Jesus and also Buddhism. But I don’t consider myself a Christian or a Buddhist. I just agree with being kind, compassionate, empathetic, passive, and I have respect for ALL life, and that means animals that we share the planet with also. We all need to care for and look out for each other and our world. I’m in my mid 50’s, have always thought that and always will.
That being said, I’ve also come to believe in the last 8 years or so, that I guess I never knew the true nature of most people. I’m definitely not naïve, I always knew there were people out there who just hated other people for no reason. That there were racists, that there were men who hate women, that there were people who would hate another person because they didn’t have the same religious beliefs or had none at all. I just didn’t have any clue until recently just how many millions feel that way.
Since he came into the forefront and became president, I have lost my faith in people and haven’t set foot in any church for years now. In the past, whenever I felt down or stressed out about something, many times I’d take comfort in going to a church and just sitting quietly by myself when there wasn’t a service going on. I’ don’t do that anymore. It’s not the faith itself, it’s not God. It’s the people. I can’t reconcile people claiming to follow Jesus and behaving the way a big portion of them are. Obviously I know it’s not all of them. But it’s a lot, too many for me to be comfortable with. The melding of Trump, QAnon, Christian nationalism and many church pastors and leaders putting too much emphasis on politics and hating “others” has put our country and the world in a very, very bad place. It’s gone on too long. I cry a lot because of everything I see and observe. And mainly it’s due to me questioning myself.. did I ever really know anyone? Is this the way Christians have always been, but now it’s out in the open? It’s heartbreaking. And I have nowhere to turn. (My family members have all passed & I live alone.) What used to mean something to me doesn’t mean anything anymore. That’s my personal story of the kind of damage that’s been done. And I’m far from the only one who feels let down and lost.
Anyway, I appreciate you. Please take care of yourself. 💕
Cause his bond was paid by a pornigraphy lender?
Trump's?
I'm trying to provide an analytical response to these videos, but so far they are mostly introductory and they are making claims without going into the details of those claims, so any refutation of the claims will probably have to wait until later videos when more details are provided. I agree somewhat with your discussion about judgement. I think many Christians get this wrong, and Christians are called upon to admonish one another over their actions. Often, when judgements are made about people's actions, they are interpreted as being judgements against the people taking those actions. Realistically, we are all called to make judgements every day, and if parents didn't make judgements about their children's actions, the children would be unsafe.
I believe that you are overlooking the biggest factor that makes a Christian support Trump. Based on what I have watched so far, it seems that you are convinced that Trump has created some sort of cult of believers who would follow him anywhere. I'm sure there are some supporters who would, but I believe that the reason most Christian supporters of Trump do so is because of a significant distrust of the media. This video states several times that Trump poses a threat to the Democracy, and to the world. And, again, I expect you to back up those claims in future videos. But, I think the view of many is that it doesn't hold up to past experience. Back in 2016, there were all sorts of warnings about how it would be the end of our Democracy if Donald Trump were elected president. And then he was elected president, and we didn't slip into an immediate dystopian society with Trump as dictator for life. Now, eight years later, to try to make the same claims about the threats that Donald Trump poses is similar to the boy who cried wolf. Why should people believe it? Over the years, I have watched the media evolve into what I now think is diabolical (particularly in coverage of pro-life issues). The majority of news sources are run almost entirely by Democrats, and there are systems in place to squash stories that work against a particular narrative. So, I believe that when you make claims about Donald Trump being an evil man who poses a threat to the Democracy, the average Christian Trump supporter doesn't say "so what?", but instead says "show me some evidence that I can trust".
You also discuss bias at the end of this video, and I think you got this wrong. You are still biased, but you have shifted your bias to the left from the right. I'm OK with that. Everyone is biased, and their biases are based on their past experiences and perceptions. The only time I think that we need to try to eliminate bias is in the news business. We need them to be striving to be as un biased as humanly possible. But, unfortunately, they no longer make any attempts at providing unbiased coverage. But you are no less biased because you switched your point of view. You just picked up a different bias. If somebody moved from the Democratic party to the Republican party, would you say they are no longer biased?
Aren't you missing two key points?: 1. Trump attempted a coup against our government. That's about as dystopian as it gets. 2. Trump is the one who started calling all media " fake news" to undermine its credibility in the eyes of his followers, eroding yet another pillar of our society that holds the powerful to account. I suggest you spend time reading outside of your echo chamber. The first Trump administration was horrible. He failed and continues to wreak havoc. It's hard for me to believe you don't understand that.
I'm an ex-Christian, but I have full respect for other peoples' religious beliefs, as long as they don't try to impose them on others (project 2025 for example). You are a breath of much needed fresh air, and I can only hope you will open some eyes and free some souls. But I have my doubts. The MAGA crowd is extremely close-minded to any challenges to their political beliefs.
An underlying theme I have noticed is that people (at least in my circle) keep referring to Biden and dems in general as socialists/communists/marxists, and the biggest reason that they support Trump. I've been doing some reading and trying to understand this, but I think this is something I would like to see you address if you are so inclined.
That's because tRump calls them that and their "news" source is trump.
I agree with you a hundred percent
Only 14 members elected to the 47-member UN Human Rights Council, based in Geneva, are considered “free” countries by the rights group Freedom House, leaving 70 percent of slots occupied by nations designates as “partly free” or “not free.
“When the world elects regimes like China, Cuba, Pakistan, to its highest human rights body, that’s like naming Al Capone and his gang to fight organized crime. It’s a betrayal,” said UN Watch executive director Hillel Neuer in an interview with ILTV on Thursday.
Evil walks on every side when the vilest men are exalted
Thank you for your efforts in this matter. I all but wrote off all Christian churches in large part because of the support they give to Trump. You have given me that there’s real hope for the future.
I feel the same way.. thank you
You sir Pat is very courageous
Well put - totally makes sense
Great comparison between Trump and Biden when it comes to the lens they use to view the world. I couldn't agree more. There is absolutely no way one can argue that Trump's rhetoric is helpful for the world community. His focus has always been on himself and that's not ever going to change.
I would vote for Liz Cheney in a heart beat. What most people don't realize is that she voted Republican very strongly during her time in Congress. The ONLY reason WY voters voted her out was because of her anti-Trump stance.
Trump is a boil on the butt of the world. It will only get worse until it is lanced and the core infection removed.
Thank you for making these ❤
Alternate title to your channel :Good Faith Politics
That's a good name - what I'm hoping, though, is that someday I can focus more on the culture and faith parts, and a lot less on the politics. I hate politics.
Great video! Very logical thought process and unbiased. I could not agree more from a logical perspective.
As a 63 year old Christian man, I have never voted in my life.
Why?... because I know that voting violates God's commandments.
What I have done most of my adult life is to follow what's happening in the world to see how it relates to Bible prophecy... politics included.
It has been crystal clear to me that democrats are more pro-life than Republicans; but neither party qualifies as pro-life. So therefore, no Christian can use the pro-life issue to justify voting. God's word makes it perfectly clear that friendship with this world makes you his enemy. We don't need to be focusing on the things of this world and how we can change the world... we need to focus on how we can become more and more christ-like while we still have a chance to do so.
I don't share your theological perspective on voting and political involvement, but I respect it. I have a few friends who believe that way, as well.
@@culturefaithandpolitics I'm sure that you would agree that it would be wrong to encourage someone to violate God's word. But that's exactly what voting does. Both Jesus and James made it abundantly clear that we are not to swear to any oath at all. But politicians put their hand on the Bible that says to swear not at all, and then proceed to swear to an oath. And that's just one of many ways that politicians violate God's word. I would no more help, or encourage a man to swear to an oath, than I would drive an alcoholic to the liquor store so he can buy his alcohol.
You would serve yourself well to study all the reasons why Christians should never vote. I've heard all the excuses as to why it's okay for a Christian to swear to an oath, but none of them can be supported by the word of God. It shouldn't be that hard to ascertain that Christians should have it as part of their testimony to the world, that we trust God and that we are not making this world our home.

Revelation 17:10-11 … (Explained)…”AND ONE IS”
Rev 17:10 KJV
And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
- “five are fallen’ the first 5 have lost their Dominion.
- “and one is” this is from 2016 to 2020. That is TRUMP who carries Gadreel, he has Dominion.
- “and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. This is BIDEN. Biden carries Apollyon. Both Apollyon and False Prophet will be taken SOON, before his end of office.
This is how we know Rev 17:10-11 is for TODAY and not hundreds of years ago like you’re being told by False Prophets.
”AND ONE IS” … remember it, it’s IMPORTANT. It “pinpoints” the Antichrist also. Was it supposed too, perhaps?
Rev 17:11 KJV
And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
- “and is of the seven” means he is one of the 7 KINGS of Rev 17:10
- This tells us that KING 8 is one of the 7 NAMES. Kings 1 thru 4 are DEAD. King 5 is not running for office. King 7 will be taken SOON. That leaves KING 6 or TRUMP.
Daniel 7:20 KJV (confirms)
And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.
---- “whose look was more STOUT than his fellows” confirms TRUMP
Hope this helps some,
Enoch (Prophet)
(Watchman for this Last Generation)
Good closing analogy.
Your videos are like balm for our country’s airwaves. Spot on! I agree whole heartedly. Thanks so much for the rationale arguments and great examples that challenge us all to evaluate the reality of the current Republican Party led by DJT. Thanks for helping to get out the message so skillfully and so sanely. Hopefully many of our brothers and sisters in Christ will come to the same conclusions that we have. For me, voting for Biden and other anti-MAGA candidates seems to be a necessary thing to do in the fall. God bless you and your work. Thanks for the positive and patient example you set for us.
