A Letter to the American Church with our guest Eric Metaxas | Family Church Podcast
Join Pastor Chuck Carter as he welcomes Eric Metaxas, the acclaimed author of Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy, on this powerful episode of the Family Church Podcast. In this discussion, they delve into Metaxas's latest book, Letter to the American Church, which serves as a compelling and urgent call to action for today's believers. In Letter to the American Church, Metaxas draws alarming parallels between the contemporary American church and the German church of the 1930s, echoing the prophetic warnings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Metaxas exhorts Christians to break their silence in the face of evil, reminding us that "Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless." Metaxas argues that true faith does not mean passively standing by while Christian civilization is dismantled and our children are misled. Instead, he calls the Church to take a stand, challenging the false meekness that often masks cowardice. He urges believers to reject an unbiblical "cheap grace" that drains spiritual vitality and to confront the moral challenges of our time with courage and conviction. Throughout the episode, Pastor Chuck Carter and Eric Metaxas discuss the Church's crucial role in cultural battles, from defending the unborn to confronting cultural Marxism and globalist tyranny. They emphasize that silence is not an option and that Christians must engage in this fight with the spiritual weapons of prayer, self-sacrifice, and love. Don't miss this thought-provoking conversation that aims to inspire and mobilize the Church to stand firm in the face of today's challenges. Tune in to the Family Church Podcast, Episode 3, for a wake-up call that could reshape your understanding of faith and action.
