How did loving your enemies, a command of Jesus, suddenly become a sign that you're woke?

And why is owning the libs now the answer to what would Jesus do?

Welcome to the Roy's Report, a podcast dedicated to reporting the truth and restoring the church.

I'm Julie Roy's.

And joining me on this podcast is New

York Times best-selling author Tim Alberta, whose latest book explores what happened to American

evangelicals. Decades ago, Americans viewed evangelicals favorably. In 1976, author and historian

Gary Wills called evangelicalism the major religious force in America,

both in numbers and in impact. And leading evangelical thinkers claimed that evangelicalism

could no longer be regarded as reactionary, but was vigorously and sometimes creatively speaking

to the needs of the contemporary world. Fast forward to today, and evangelicalism has become

synonymous with Donald Trump, a thrice-married, vulgar opportunist who said he doesn't need to repent

or ask for forgiveness. A recent poll by Pew Research found that the only religious group that

views evangelicals favorably are evangelicals. And as Tim Alberta notes in his book,

in 1991, 90% of Americans identified as Christians, but today only 63% do. What happened to this once

vibrant movement? And can it be saved or has it passed beyond the point of no return? In his new book, The Kingdom,

the Power, and the Glory, Tim Alberta does a masterful job of exploring these questions,

but he doesn't do it as an outside critic passing judgment, but as a practicing Christian

and the son of an evangelical pastor. I found Tim's book eye-opening on many levels, and I'm so excited to share

this interview with you. But before I do, I want to thank the sponsors of this podcast, Judson

University, and Mark Ward of Barrington. If you're looking for a top-ranked Christian University,

providing a caring community and an excellent college experience, Judson University is for you.
