January 6th has gained infamy, being likened to other dark days in U.S. history. Among the distressing scenes witnessed on that day, one that stands out is a leader of the insurrection holding up a Bible and leading a prayer. This raises questions about how individuals can exploit Holy Scriptures to sow chaos and believe they are fulfilling a divine purpose.

In this episode, we delve into the complexities surrounding the use of faith as a tool for disruption and chaos. We explore the various perspectives that lead people to believe they are justified in weaponizing their faith for political ends.

Furthermore, we discuss how movements employ religion as a means to advance their power-driven agendas, shedding light on the mechanisms behind this troubling phenomenon.

To gain deeper insights, we turn to the scriptures themselves to understand what they convey about such actions. Join us as we navigate these intricate topics and more in this enlightening episode.
