Part 2: Nonviolence in 2025 

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/371813/open_sms">Send us a text</a>Is love powerful enough for our times? Markus and Antwuan wrestle with a tough question: Do Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.&apos;s nonviolent principles still work in today’s cutthroat political climate? Or has the game changed so much that power plays and “fighting fire with fire” are the only options left? From gerrymandering in Texas to global examples of resistance, they dig deep into whether Jesus’s call to love your enemies is practical wisdom for society, or just idealistic words for Sunday school. Along the way, they challenge the tension between effectiveness and faithfulness: Does the end ever justify the means? And if love looks like losing, are Christians still called to choose it? It’s a conversation about trust, witness, and what it means to follow Jesus when the stakes are high. _____________________________ Podcast Subscription Links Apple Podcast: coloredcommentary.com/apple Spotify: coloredcommentary.com/spotify Google Podcasts: coloredcommentary.com/google Stitcher: coloredcommentary.com/stitcher IHeart Radio: coloredcommentary.com/iheartradio
