Does the Bible really have "nothing to say" about abortion or homosexuality? Did Jesus teach that salvation comes simply by "treating people well"?

That's what Texas State Representative and U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico claimed on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert"—and his comments have sparked an important conversation among believers.

In this episode of Soulful Scriptures Everyday, we open the Word together and explore:

📖 What does the Bible actually say about these topics?

📖 What did Jesus mean in Matthew 25 when He spoke about feeding the hungry and welcoming the stranger?

📖 Are we saved by good works—or by grace through faith?

📖 How do we understand Jesus' command to "love God and love neighbor" in today's political climate?

📖 What is "Christian nationalism," and is it a betrayal of Christ?

We also reflect on House Speaker Mike Johnson's response, who reminds us that biblical commands to individuals may look different for civil authorities called to maintain order (Romans 13).

Based on reporting by Jon Brown for The Christian Post, this episode doesn't claim to have all the answers. Instead, we gather as brothers and sisters in Christ to humbly search the Scriptures together—because iron sharpens iron, and we need each other to stay rooted in truth.

Join us for a thoughtful, grace-filled conversation about faith, politics, and what Jesus actually said.

And stay until the very end. We close with a worship song called "Revival" by Papercastle —a reminder that His truth is our foundation when the world's voices grow loud.
