Summary

In this special pre-election edition of Confessions of a Crappy Christian, Blake reflects on the anticipation and uncertainty surrounding the upcoming election, emphasizing the importance of being spiritually prepared for any outcome. While addressing concerns about potential policy impacts and media influence, Blake underscores that true strength and hope are rooted not in politics but in faith. Citing Philippians 4:12-13 and Isaiah 40:31, Blake shares that waiting on the Lord—through seeking, trusting, and praying—renews our strength and helps us face challenges with assurance. No matter the result, listeners are reminded that God remains in control, providing hope that never disappoints, as affirmed in Romans 5:1-5. Blake encourages everyone to stay anchored in faith, resilient, and prayerful, trusting in the steadfast nature of God to navigate whatever comes next. Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	Welcome back to another episode of Confessions of a Crappy Christian, a misfit media network
0:11.4	production. I am your host and resident Crappy Christian Blake, and every week I get to have
0:16.9	the coolest conversations with incredible people about all the things most Christians
0:21.8	are still not sure we're allowed to talk about. So if you've been looking for a place to land

1:04.4	My hope is that their very sad attempt at an October surprise was Trump is literally Hitler, and they've kind of pulled out
1:13.9	all of their last ditch efforts to sway the population. And so we're just kind of hanging out

1:26.8	So if you were listening to this and
1:28.5	something crazy happened over the weekend, the reality is is that all of the truth that I'm going
1:33.5	to cover inside of this episode still stands true, no matter what has happened. But like I said,
