The Church’s Challenge in the Age of Trump

Last updated on: January 31, 2017 at 9:53 am By J. R. Daniel Kirk

The church’s challenge in the age of Trump, perhaps its biggest challenge, is to somehow follow Jesus as “light in the darkness” when light is shining out from every corner of our country and our world.
