Culture, Faith and Politics with Pat Kahnke

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear sits down with former pastor Pat Kahnke for an interview on faith and politics. In this conversation about his new book Go and Do Likewise: How We Heal a Broken Country, Beshear talks openly about why Democrats ceded faith language, what he means by bumper sticker faith, and why he says "judge not, period."

What does the Bible actually say about abortion? We examine James Talarico, CBN, Exodus 21 miscarriage law, Psalm 139, and other Bible verses to test Christian pro-life theology. James Talarico said the Bible is silent on abortion — CBN called it a lie. Who is telling the truth? 

In this episode, former 20-year evangelical pastor and pro-life activist Pat Kahnke discusses what he did years ago: he tried to build a bullet-proof biblical case that abortion is murder — and found he couldn't do it.

In this clip from a recent Tuesday Night Live episode, Pat Kahnke and Ken Napzok break down how a 9-day flu absence turned into a conspiracy about the Lindner Center of Hope in Ohio, why Paxton's wanted poster stunt backfired, and what it reveals about the right's war on mental health. From stigmatizing therapy as weakness to claiming it's not a gun issue, it's a mental health issue while defunding care, this is the Fruit Test in real time — stated Christian values vs. documented behavior.

In this clip from Tuesday night's live stream with Ken Napzok, Pat connects the reported criminal immigration investigation into Ilhan Omar's citizenship to Donald Trump's decade-long attacks on the Somali community in the Twin Cities and greater Minnesota — home to 80,000+ Somali Americans, over 95% of whom are U.S. citizens.

Topics for this episode of the Thursday morning live stream included: James Talarico answering the people of Texas on CNN, and Adam Swenson remembers his father, Dr. Richard Swenson, on his passing.
