Adam Swenson and Pat Kahnke contrast Lasso’s “no enemies, only not-yet-friends” and “be a goldfish” with Metaxas’s dark view of power, loyalty tests, and permanent political enemies. Adam’s thesis: adults still change based on who they absorb. Metaxas is the warning — change is real, and it’s not guaranteed to go toward Christ.
In this livestream:
• Adam’s Ted Lasso essay — modifiers, BELIEVE, baked goods, and the way of Christ
• Metaxas vs Douthat on character
• How Metaxas went from fearing Trump’s power-worship to “I trust him ultimately”
• What Christian nationalism gets wrong about enemies, grace, and influence
