What is the role of a faithful Christian right now? How do we avoid both a spiritual zeal that isn't grounded in the actual world, as well as a hopeless cynicism that forgets Jesus is King. Our favorite Holy Post hosts are here to help!

Hum, after reading about the experience of Jasmine Mooney, a Canadian actress and businesswoman, who was treated like a criminal by ICE for 2 weeks, I could use some hope. Having said that, despite the appalling conditions, she spoke in her article (The Guardian 19 March 2025) about Christians who were also detained who did minister to her and others there. Her experience does explain some things about the system, though: "Companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group receive government funding based on the number of people they detain, which is why they lobby for stricter immigration policies. It’s a lucrative business: CoreCivic made over $560m from Ice contracts in a single year. In 2024, GEO Group made more than $763m from Ice contracts. The more detainees, the more money they make. It stands to reason that these companies have no incentive to release people quickly. What I had experienced was finally starting to make sense."

I subscribed to Holy Post just to hear this episode because I saw it promoted on Esau McCauley’s Instagram. Overall the discussion was thoughtful and illuminated precisely what I’m struggling with. The person who voiced my concerns best was the male guest on the left of the screen. But I’d prefer that the host (Phil?) not try so hard to turn this into “Inside the NBA” with himself as Ernie Johnson. The Sharon Hodde Miller banter was cringe. Too early to say if I’ll keep my subscription. If I do, it’s because I find similar content with a different tone.
