Ep 787 | The 'Tennessee Three' Aren't Heroes

April 12, 2023

Today we're talking about the Tennessee Three, three Tennessee state legislators who are being hailed as heroes for their anti-gun advocacy in the wake of the Nashville atrocity. Gloria Johnson, Justin Pearson, and Justin Jones, now collectively the "Tennessee Three," led disruptive protests from the floor of the House chamber, halting proceedings. They each faced votes of expulsion, and only two of them were ultimately removed from the House, causing Republicans in the house to be labeled racists. We break down some of Pearson and Jones' terrible "Bible" preaching in the name of social justice and look at what this all means from both a political and theological perspective. --- Timecodes: (00:42) Intro (02:30) Tennessee Three: what happened (06:43) White House response (11:12) Justin Pearson’s cadence change (14:50) Biblical heroes (19:54) Christian affirmation of Tennessee Three (24:35) Bad motivations & GOP backlash (33:32) Gun legislation --- Today's Sponsors: A'Del — go to adelnaturalcosmetics.com and enter promo code "ALLIE" for 25% off your first order!
