In this special episode, we dive deep into the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, marking the first such attempt on a U.S. president or former president in the last 40 years. This shocking event shatters the myth of American Exceptionalism, reminding us that even in America, bad things can and do happen.
We explore the dangerous political rhetoric that permeates both sides of the aisle, where the narrative often turns apocalyptic: "If my opponent wins, it's the end of democracy." This episode of Wake Up, Look Up examines how such language can incite violence, as seen in the video of the assassination attempt.
On the pastoral side, we address the anxiety and uncertainty this event has stirred. While we're relieved that Trump is okay, some Christian circles view this incident as proof of Trump being God's anointed leader—a notion Zach challenges greatly.
We also honor Corey Comperatore, who lost his life protecting his family during the assassination attempt. He is a hero, and his legacy of selflessness and bravery serves as an inspiration. Join us for this thought-provoking episode as we navigate the complexities of political violence, personal responsibility, and faith in the face of tragedy.
