Greenland Ambitions, Worship Service Protest, and Talarico Shares His Faith

Trump’s Greenland talk concerns Europe, protesters disrupt a church service, and a Democratic politician shares his beliefs.

President Trump expresses his desire to possess Greenland, causing tension between the administration and European leaders. Noah Rothman of National Review sits down with Russell Moore, Mike Cosper, and Clarissa Moll to discuss the president’s overtures and their implications on the post-WWII global order. A worship service in St. Paul, Minnesota is interrupted by protestors, where the pastor is an ICE field director. Pastor and community organizer Chris Butler helps us consider how Christians can think about protesting. And finally, David Zahl of Mockingbird Ministries stops in to discuss Democratic Texas state representative James Talarico and his statements about reclaiming Christianity for the left.
